the rhythmic treat no southern soul can know
is walking out in winter’s squeaky snow
when sky is steely blue and hard as glass
when simple air inhales as shards of brass
when silence reaches out to pale the sun
and woods are still and breath and heart are one
then snow the diamond harness of the north
drifts hangs sings floats deliberately roars
in music mortals see but seldom hear
so blind is heart so sweet enchanted, ear.
