Winter Solstice
(from Stopping By Woods on A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost)
I walk – between the woods and frozen lake
On the darkest evening of the year.
The snow – compact, slippery.
My steps cautious.
I walk between two worlds now.
The known and . . . the yet
to be determined.
The memories and the hopes.
In this year ahead – may I dance
with abandon. May I
swim in ocean waters.
May I remember, each day,
to notice the moment
the ice will thaw and
the earth will awaken.
A good response to the prompt. “I walk between two worlds now.
The known and . . . the yet
to be determined.
Apologies. I must have hit post before I was finished.
“I walk between two worlds now. The known and . . . the yet to be determined” is a favorite line. It makes me think!
Well done!
