frozen as i step outside
i breathe in the cold air of night
my eyes water, my nostrils sting
as i'm surrounded by the silence of everything
i trap the snow beneath my feet
standing still enough to hear my heart beat
i tilt my head up towards the sky
staring with a cold tear next to my eye
the gray clouds pass by the moon in it's place
like old friends walking at a faster pace
i see the trees lie naked and bare
as the subtle wind speaks to them like a prayer
my eyes they close, imagining the earth
bewildered at all it's worth
God has made peace even in the dark
a certainty that will not depart
i continue on my way
i took Peace with me from that place
somewhere familiar
I'm very glad I came across this poem tonight. I'm not sure how to respond to it, but it is truly quite beautiful. For a moment during the first half it actually made me quite emotional.
