The wind blows briskly across the pasture
Trees swaying to and fro
A night made to avoid disaster
The moon above brings and enlightened glow
A chill in the air felt to the bone
Wrapping its self all around
A white cover over the trees has been sewn
As a new fallen snow covers the world

Within a moment in time
Feeling the miles that separate us
Fleeting pictures of you in my mind
Wishing for the time to go by
The thought of your touch
A dream of your kiss
Looking upon the face of my angel
Your voice calling out my name in passion
So many images run through my head
As I wrap myself on this cold winter night
Dreaming the dream that is my one true love
To be back in your arms
For the rest of our days
All these thoughts of you run through my soul
As I sit here under a blanket, soft and warm, with the faintest hint of her perfume
Swirling in my head.

Upon the forest deep
Where the mountain becomes steep
A place where few attempts to go
Nature puts on its show
Trees so thick all around
You can barely hear a sound
Sunlight hidden away
When the wind blows all the trees together sway
Animals lurk upon the silent landscape
The darkness below cannot escape
Until that time the winds do change
A chill in the air does hang
Snow begins to fill its sight
Turning it all a woodland white.

The other night I was texting with my lovely beautiful wife and she asked me if I was bored. I am currently staying in a room that I would say is heat challenged. So my reply to her was;
“Pretty much! Shivering in the cold only keeps you entertained for so long”
I was bundled up in warm clothes under the covers in my bed. Got to love the Army. I have had to deal with worse. Sleeping in a tent in Korea in the middle of winter. Being in the middle of the Iraq desert in the middle of winter and growing up in Wisconsin, I have had to deal with cold weather. I’m currently in Louisiana and you would figure it might be a little warmer. NOT! Hope you all have a warm and wonderful day.
When I was a kid winter was a magical time of the year
Sledding, building forts, snow angels and so much more
A time to look forward to Christmas time and vacation
Looking forward to watching the snow fall
Heading outside to play till I was frozen to the bone
As I grew, the magic was replaced by just having fun
Snowball fights, skeetching behind the bus, and so much more
Getting our driver’s license and learning what fun it could be
Doing donuts in the snow, slide turns with the emergency brake
Going on ski trips, sledding until all hours in the dark
Adulthood hit and things began to change
The winter time was more of a pain
Driving to work, digging out the drive way and so much more
Yes there was times of fun
Playing with the kids, building snowmen and a few other things
What do I look forward to in winter now a days
I look forward to the first day of spring and the warmth it brings.
Out I stepped
Slipping and sliding
On my feet I was gliding
Out of control
Feet on a roll
Up in the air they flew
I didn’t know what I would do
Down I landed
On my ass I planted

Flying across the sky
Caressing the air without a care
Gliding along on the currents above
Floating across the sea of the night
Gently sliding down to earth
A single snowflake leading the pack
Soon many more will follow its lead
Filling the air with the greatest of ease
Wind wiping them around flipping and falling
Soon the air is a filled all in white
The snow covering the ground like a blanket on a bed
Tucking in the grass for a long winters nap

Cold bites at my face
Burning my skin in its embrace
Vapors rise from between my lips
Rising into the emptiness
Winds bring a harsh cold
Sending a chill deep into soul
A frosty wonderland
Blasting into me where I stand
Skies shown in a deep blue
A sharp crispness comes into view
Wishing that summer was here soon

Took a walk around our neighborhood on the first day of the year. Just had this urge to go out and take pictures. It was a beautiful winter day and thankfully not too cold. Well if you call upper 20’s not too cold. Just felt like doing something different to start the new year out. Pictures they say are worth a thousand words, well I don’t know about that always. I hope you enjoy a touch of winter. Happy New Year.
