And deer! Lots and lots of deer! Dressed in the morning snow Melting away into a white trailside cathedral
And birds! Lots and lots of birds! … a flicker, hugging a tree trunk … downy woodpeckers, flitting about … chickadees, darting from snowy twig to snowy twig … a pileated woodpecker, the avian prize
And tracks! Lots and lots of tracks! Dog-like, but not a dog’s A coyote! A gray ghost, ahead, watching, then trotting away.
And me! … alone on the snowy path, but not alone If you know what I mean
This is my Father’s world… If you know what I mean…
