Looking upward through the trees snow glazed and frozen
I’m pleased I took this path unchosen
By the little forest creatures
That I may enjoy the unmarked features
While I journey forward - not too far
I look not backward as I go
To see not where my footsteps marred
Where I went walking in the snow.
Now home to breakfast I’ll enjoy the trees aglaze
With frosty lace of snow and ice
Before the world of nature wakes to winters’ wonder and delights.
