Musings of a morning walk

Snow crunching under boots
Paws running and skipping both faster and quieter
This morning is surprisingly quiet
And I notice the absence of the wind
That leaves drops hanging on the end of every twig and branch
Catching the light
The light is also something new
This morning carries the hope of spring
Even if the ground is white and the air is cold
There's a light this morning
A pale, pale sun has broken the cloud cover
As if its yellow colour was lost in the battle
As if its warmth was spent blazing through layer upon layer of gray
But I see it
And I smile to myself
And I look at the tiny buds on the beech tree branches
And I think "In just two months, maybe three"
The forest will be transformed
The sheer green will once again lift my spirit
The forest will be full again of wildlife and joy
All those thoughts make the winter air feel better against my face
Makes the crunching of the snow sound better
There's never one without the other
And today's joy is here and now
MAde even better, knowing what's still to come.

Good one, Santra...
*hoping the buds of the cherry trees in Kungsträdgården won't freeze to death after an unusually early false start*
