Sonatas VIII-1 (Allegro Giojoso) - Untouched

As I walked out into the untouched snow
The pristine beauty that met my wondering eye;
Filled my imagination with the worlds we know -
The worlds of nature, the forests, the trees, oceans, the skies...
The wonders we see as time goes by in years in flashes and spaces -
Those natural wonders are changed by time and by us and our careless traces.
We must take some care with the passage of time;
We should leave some traces of where we've been
But we should leave things of beauty and joy behind
Things to remember we were loving kin.
For this we’ve written these lines and composed these images
To memorialize this day’s feelings upon these pages.

Early in the morning, new fallen snow
To the winter gardens’ untouched frost I go.
No footsteps mar the paths of white;
Not a rabbit or cat track is in sight;
Not a sound yet rents the air -
Even the wind seems to hide elsewhere.
The frosty morning is quite still
As I venture toward the sledding hill.
