1 Rushing through the crisp winter air
2 Breathing the fresh scent of the crisp winter air
3 The powdery snow glistens on each thin needle of the tall pine trees
4 The apricity of the sun radiates me.
5 Hushed and tranquil
6 Chills spread from my toes to my fingertips
8 A grin stretches across my face
9 Cheek to cheek.
10 Exhilaration flushing through my veins
11 The past plagued by afflictions
12 Vanishing with each stride I take
13 Like a speck disappearing into the distance.
14 I’m breaking free
15 Like an animal trapped in a cage.
16 I’m speeding onward
17 Every pace closer to bliss
18 Toward happiness
19 Escaping the grasp of burdens and struggles.
20 The load I’ve been carrying is lighter.
21 I know now
22 I’m free.


The author's comments:

I was inspired to write this piece after I went on an annual skiing trip in northern Wisconsin because I always feel very peaceful and at ease when I'm on the trails.
