STRANGER

nephilim56

The snow which falls
Amidst the breeze
The swirling leaves
From swaying trees.

A ragged man
With feet that pain
Walks a path
Like a crooked shadow
Limping, struggling
In this white meadow.

Horses nearby
Stood rigid
Like frozen statues
Bellies dripping.

Eyes drawn still
To the forlorn figure
Battling on
In this cold Winter.

    A stark and frigid image is cast in this winter scene. Vivid in reality is there a metaphor here? Nicely painted and penned

      No metaphor, just something I remember seeing, many thanks

      That paints a touching but sad picture in your head, hopefully he made were he was going, enjoyed the read

      It appears to be more difficult to be a stranger in the winter places than in the tropics… reminds me of the little match girl. 🙏🏻🕊
