WINTER LANDSCAPE


Listen to the steps
Falling softly on the ground
One followed by another
In the winter landscape of the mind

Children playing with dreams
Past and present
Music caressing lonely souls
As in the night they whisper

Trees fallow to the ground
Burning timber in a heart
Long forgotten
Too distant from the future

To be seen and never heard
Where time is lost
Still not savored
Listen to the steps in the silence
