Footprints

Footprints within the snow
leading out is the only way in
Placing steps in those formed before
leads you home ..... once more
The white beckons to begin your trek
"There is no turning back"
Looking back from whence you came
Disturbed snow
shows your gain
Your breath hangs delightfully upon the air
Icy fingers trace
shivers that runs down your back
knowing that
there is no going back
Until one has reached
the path upon the hidden track
Placing one foot within the next
Your heart pumps upon the track
The white blanket is all that you see
No extra footprints to make it back
Reaching the end of one's heavy trek
you begin the task that takes you back
Turning around to return for home
an icy touch shivers once more
A fire is welcome upon
your safe return
Stepping in footprints in the snow
No disturbance of the snow that's pure
that surrounds the footprints in the snow
