Winter moment
A walk through the woods
seems to go
of its own accord
past fir trees whose branches
bow low with the snow
past oak trees whose branches
seem roots
that reach to the sky
You travel a path
that is not to be seen
breaking the snow crust
that covers the ground
moving through
thick-falling snow
that catches on eyelashes
till you reach a clearing
you hadn’t known was there
And here
the trees are pushed back
the snow is unbroken
the sky leans down
to soften the fall of its
snowflakes
And here
peace comes in.
~ Deborah Killip, via a sister
What an amazing poem. This part “And here
the trees are pushed back
the snow is unbroken
the sky leans down
to soften the fall of its
snowflakes” caught me the most.
Love you honey.
