As I walked out this morning
With frost upon the ground
I thought I had mistaken
The temperature
As it was dark on my departure.
The frost I didn’t see
Until the sun revealed
A silvery world to me.
A frost is rare in my world
I once lived where they were daily
The tallest tree a silvery glow.
But this morning with my ears cold
My hands hidden in my sleeves
I braved the cold
Stepped briskly through our winter chill
Even marvelled at a lost kangaroo
As it hopped across the shopping centre car park.
Wondered why/how it had found its way to this place
Nothing for it to eat
Maybe it craved the company of men, but I doubt it.
Home I walked,
The frost crunching under my boots
My heart alive to the fact
I had made the effort to walk
On this morning in its winter wonder.

Sometimes we have to force ourselves, in order to see the beauty that we can miss.
Glad you walked today and witnessed it, even in the cold.
Thank you Jenny my aching bones are the result of not walking for a few weeks. But it was a lovely frost.
It’s good you got your walk in. And then seeing something unexpected! Makes it all worth while.
Yes it was a good walk. Thanks Jackie for your comment.
I stuck my nose out the door this morning and saw the frost. Frost on the grass, frost on the canopy of the swing seat, frost on the outdoor setting, frost on the clothesline. Then closed the door again when I checked the temperature and saw it was minus 4. I decided not to go for a walk. LOL I’m glad you enjoyed yours though, Michael 🙂
Not quite that cold here Lyn. 2C at 6.30.
I enjoyed your winter scene, Michael. I had never associated cold and kangaroo.
Neither did I Gabriella until this morning. Thanks for reading.
I so don’t miss those frosty days.
But – the calendar shows me that it’s on it’s way…UGH!
No the frosty days are nice to look at for ten minutes then you crave some warmth. Thankfully we don’t get very many. Sadly RoSy winter will roll around again for you. Have a good day.
