Silent witness


The wood beneath my feet
Creaked a little
And broke the silence
I had been listening to
All day.

Flocks of birds were flying away
To the warmer lands
Across miles and miles of snow.
Two laughing hearts
Ran hand in hand
Leaving behind footprints.
They stopped to catch their breath
And his caring gloved hand
Ran through her golden tangles.
Tomorrow they will not be around
To greet the
Golden glitters of sunrise.
But the white blankets,
Will bear a silent witness
To this flight
Of hearts.

  8. I like the open ending. It left me wondering what happens, why they won't be there tomorrow.
