Pausing on the journey
to admire the snow-covered forest,
listening to the echo of silence from the deep.

My horse questions my decision
to linger in this isolated place,
but I'm captivated.
By white serenity dancing in my face.

My eyes start to mesh staring into the black,
My heart reminding me of duty and honor,
and I realize,
not today.

Homage to Robert Frost
