There is something magical when fresh snow covers the trail. This poem is inspired by the recent snowstorm we were thankful for.

                 Eager to Soar 

Eager to soar 
in simplicity
My sneakers greet 
the landscape
frosted with sweet 
whiteness. A delicious 
treat stretched out 
before me. I notice
the Hickory tree 
No longer bare 
a soft, sugary topping
covers it’s branches 
sparkles as the sun
peeks through the clouds 
I grin— Impressive 
Each stride 
Each inhale
and exhale
Brings a rhythm 
I can’t explain
All I know is— 
I lack nothing
When I meet the trail
