Crumpling snow of silence,

trembling underfoot

air floating in front of me

& frozen frost.

Snow laden branches bent over in the weight of

Black,

Ice.

Black,

Bark -

& white, white snow of

silence.

Stubborn branch of powerful limb - stranded

on frozen lake,

frozen lake of silence

& cold air breathing

inside myself

particles of sin,

& me - frozen in a picture within,

upon the mystic landscape

of silence -

silent walking

silent breathing,

& warm heart heating.
