for the timber wolf
arctic wind
the fury of opening pandora's box
snowflakes & distant dreams
land of outdoor saunas
frozen lakes
the woosh of cross country skis on sub-zero snow
poplar tamarack white birch
so dense
you lose all secondary thoughts
think only of the gift
a breathing canopy
snowshoe rabbit echoes a quarter-mile
body of trees touch
what's rich inside of you
lakes hard in december
blueness of the sky
a blue too blue to be ignored
partitioned
or grayed
a land chooses those chosen
to live
molding their grace
with the wild

e b Thanks for the images of life in an untouched nature. You are so very fortunate to be able to experience that. I live here: http://www.greenhealth.org.uk/PoeSomerset.htm
It has its own charms, but a trip on cross country skis comes about one day in every 1,000.
Write on
