"All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold"

Well composed. leading into the darker tones amongst the trees.

The path of footprints in your picture shows that we not necessary have to find and use the broad and cleared road. I suppose you maybe mean that the pathway comes from the dark and into the heart. Wonderful poem to go with your beautiful winter image.

Snowfall beings forward such a different set of expressions in even a familiar a landscape. Those are lovely words you quote here, too.

beautiful winter wonderland! looks like a well-worn path there through the snow :)

Trees, heavy with super snow, seem to bow or bend to open the pathway to the already gone beyond hearts and they still bend as if sleeping & waiting for them to return - with springtime ? A beautifully sweet winter tale, Sharon. May your end of 2010 be as sweet as that cotton-like snow.

A cool yet cozy scene...I love that all those footprints have traveled that path to the main road,
separately, yet the same. May we all trudge forward happily into 2011. Happy New Year to you.
