Standing outside just now, I watch my beautiful turkeys as they eat the corn and ‘coo’ among themselves
The silence of the falling snow drowns out the cries of my soul. It’s sleek white blanket slowly covers the tears in my heart
Crystal cold air quiets my mind…if only for a moment or two
What peace it must be, to never feel the beauty of the snow. Yet so sad this emptiness within
‘Good-by’ echoes in the frozen stillness of this winter wonderland
As I turn away, I pray I pray that peace will prevail
Truly? Is it better to go to sleep on an empty stomach?
Perhaps so. Perhaps not.
