A Winter Excursion

I awoke at five
In the morning
I commenced praying

I stepped outside
On a cold winter’s day
The snow was on display

Around me was
A winter wonderland
Snowflakes fell on my hand

I could see
My breath in the air
I said a prayer

As the street lights
Shone down on the snow
It was like diamonds aglow

I walked down a trail
In Schenley Park
It was still dark

What I saw was magical
Snow was two feet deep
Such beauty made angels weep

As I trekked onwards
A lone fox ran past me
Looking up, a hawk I did see

I was finally back home
It was a day I’d never forget
These moments helped my mindset

I had a cup of cocoa
And got cozy in my bed
Memories danced in my head
