A Winter Trail

evergreen branches

We knew this spot when brightened
  by the living hues of summer.
Then fall arrived with brilliant
  reds and gold.
We thought that spring, with new-born
  verdant splendor,
Left nothing more for Nature to unfold.

Yet now, when winter's breath enshrouds
  our hills in ice and snow,
and all about is stilled in tranquil
  sleep
We find, again, rare beauty that we did
  not know
A traveler on these trails could
  ever meet!

(C.F.B.)
