Into the Night

As the cold winter air touches my nose
The white snowflakes comes down in a rush
When they hit the ground – all turn into slush
My face and my nose are like a red rose
A deer runs by and stops quick in a pose
I round up the dogs and tell them to mush
A bellowing wind blows in like a gush
It howls like a wolf – that’s how it goes

Along the way I hear a shrill call
All the birds of the forest take flight
In the distance I spot a large tree fall
Suddenly I pause and then turn to the right
The woods look like a forbidding dark wall
As my journey proceeds into the night

Beautiful.
So good for one so young.
Sometimes, poetry really is a gift,
passed down through generations.

JeanieMac...you are so right, it's like lore. I am so thankful my grandmother and mother and father passed down my Celtic heritage! And, of course, I passed it down obediently! cheers hug
