Winter Woods

In the crispness of the winter air
I hear the whispers of the pines
Each step I take on the virgin snow
Carries me to where peace resides

Through the snow-covered trees I wander
Where tranquility and solace ponder
The gentle crunch beneath my feet
Echos through a world that's pure and sweet

In the distance there's a snow white hare
It's footprints cross the forest track
In the early morning light it nibbles
On tender sprigs poking through the snow

Through the snow-covered trees I wander
Where tranquility and solace ponder
The gentle crunch beneath my feet
Echos through a world that's pure and sweet

A chicadee tilts its black capped head
Looking curiously as I pass below
The woodpecker taps its rhythmic cadence
All hardy residents of this winter abode

Through the snow-covered trees I wander
Where tranquility and solace ponder
The gentle crunch beneath my feet
Echos through a world that's pure and sweet

In the solitude of this snowy forest
It's easy to leave the world behind
Set aside the worries and cares of life
And just for myself take some needed time
For Monday morning it comes all too soon
And all the pressures of weekday life return

Through the snow-covered trees I wander
Where tranquility and solace ponder
The gentle crunch beneath my feet
Echos through a world that's pure and sweet

Through the snow-covered trees I wander
Where tranquility and solace ponder
I wish I could stay here all week
In this world that's so pure and sweet

I wish I could stay here all week
In this world that's so pure and sweet
