Foot Steps in the Snow

Foot Steps In The Snow

My footsteps in the snow
Crunch , crunch, crunch they go.

The stars are but a distant memory,
When the snow falls all around me.
Each step I take, I plant my foot
And  mind my weight, for heaven’s sake!

Do you know, how to walk in the snow?
Slow is how I go, in the snow.

Like the leopard of snow,
Slow is how he goes.

Each step as light as a feather,
Each breath tight like a wire…no…

…more snow is what I like!
To walk in it as I might.

To  push it with a trebled shovel,
Slow is how I go.

Do you know how to move the snow,
Slow and steady, don’t you know.

I pile it up and up, moving it to and fro.
It’s  heavy, all this snow.
So I levy it high and over the bank,
With all my mind and weight.

Just so….

Crunch , crunch, crunch they will not go,

My footsteps in the snow.
