Guards Are Frozen

Guards are frozen, quiet, still, Ever watching in the chill; Eyes perceive the feet that choose the path not taken, silent views. * I love those moments of quiet solitude, where heart can reclaim itself…

hoarfrost pathway

Guards are frozen, quiet, still,

Ever watching in the chill;

Eyes perceive the feet that choose

the path not taken, silent views.

*

I love those moments of quiet solitude, where heart can reclaim itself…

    It may be cold, but it makes for wonderful photos and the poetry you put with it is brilliant

      Thanks Alastair! It’s a bit milder these days – ONLY -15 or so, and relatively speaking, it puts a smile on everyone’s face as we sashay about in lighter layers! 🙂

      We introverts like to recharge in those quiet spaces – then we can handle the bustle of community once again!

      🙂 That’s a new one. Hmm – this has been a good week!

    I had one of those this morning. Me, my chair, my coffee and the garden. Oh and dog sat on my lap. So perhaps not so much solitude as quietness. Glad it’s warmer 😀

      That sounds rather lovely…
