The Hush of Winter

The storm is approaching how we do scurry as the snow is about to begin.

Old man winter kicks up his heels as the wind starts to blow.

The snow starts to fall, its delightful dance is the north winds delight as

each flake announces its presence and it floats on its way home.

I can Feel the serenity as the storm envelopes mankind.

Man nor beast dares not make a sound as nature cleanses herself once again.

The world is silent with the Hush of Winter.

I can Feel the warmth as the storm touches my soul.

A child I become with visions of sledding and snow balls abounding.

The innocence of youth is elated as the inches pile up, what a day it will be just to become a lad once again.

The thrill of adventure of days long ago soothes my soul as the snow continues to fall.

A sledding day was in order and at days end a warm seat to dry ones bottom was the place to go.

I can smell the sweetnes as the hot Hershey coco cooks on the stove and I wait to taste the sweet bitterness of that winter delight.

I Listen to the hiss as the radiator releases its steam and the warmth of love envelopes my entire being.

Yes the snow continues to fall and the wind continues to howl but I am at peace with myself once agin.

Listen, you can feel it too; its the Hush of Winter as only you can know.
