...there is beauty is the barren
the trees void of leaves,
the quiet, the stillness,
there is no sound except my own breathing in and out,
and the occasional song of a bird
there is beauty in this barren winter hike,
solitude and peace falls on me when i realize i am all alone
a smile, a thought, a prayer, and being alone for this moment in time is captured,
and i love it...
