that which often whispers
by harlon rivers
frost heaves unbuckle
the frozen earthen trail ;
an uncommon crunching
breaks the silence
of the frozen winter woodland
unshodden footprints speak
in ancient earthen timbre ,
bestowing an awakening
primordial homage
heralding enlightenment ,
as daybreak’s tangerine rays
are cast over snowcapped majestic
song sparrows thrash and scour
organic vestige awaiting repurpose ,
foraging near pathway ahead ,
scattering the broken silence
aneath the venerable trees'
lichen latticed scaffold
their glistening
moss blankets enfold
an invigorating repose ,
that which often whispers
the sounds of silence ...
an uncommon crunching
breaks the silence
of the frozen winter woodland
unshodden footprints speak
in ancient earthen timbre ,
bestowing an awakening
primordial homage
heralding enlightenment ,
as daybreak’s tangerine rays
are cast over snowcapped majestic
song sparrows thrash and scour
organic vestige awaiting repurpose ,
foraging near pathway ahead ,
scattering the broken silence
aneath the venerable trees'
lichen latticed scaffold
their glistening
moss blankets enfold
an invigorating repose ,
that which often whispers
the sounds of silence ...

daybreak observations from the last clear,
daybreak observations from the last clear,
cold and crystalline dawn walk of 2014.
an ode to natural endings,
renewal and forever beginnings...
