Poetry Tracks In Snow by Holly Lamond

I love this poem and the state it evoked. I particularly love the last verse.

Gilly, I so appreciate you and your comments 💚💚💚

Retail therapy gets me nowhere

Haha - doesn’t do much for me either (now)

I can visualize the shopping (I hate shopping at this time of my life), you sitting sipping coffee and the birds flocking to the feeders. Love it!!

Thanks Andrea - my desire to shop has dropped significantly and I like it that way!

Same here!! We used to flock to the mall and I loved shopping. Now, not so much!!

I love the sense of presence I find in this poem! Thank you!

Thanks Stephanie 💛💛💛

Ahhhhhhh. I'm with you, Holly!

Thanks Amrita💚💚💚

BEAUTIFUL! I sent this to my sister, who is also a retired executive, enjoying her quiet times and travel. They're on a river cruise now, then coming home to a new puppy. I know she'll relate. I LOVE your cloud metaphor. Take care of you!

Thanks Ann - I love that you shared this with your sister 🩵. Funny, the cloud metaphor was added during my reworking phase so glad I made the change I did. 🙂

I can so relate to this! Oftentimes, with age, comes grace and calming insight. May it ever be so! Some lovely observations, Holly. So glad you shared this with us!!

Thanks Julie - whether it’s age or just not working myself to exhaustion, I am grateful it is nature and writing where I want to spend my time. Friends, too!

I feel this. We've walked parallel for a long time. I treasure you.

Your prose and contemplation bring joy to my heart. Recognizing one’s place, respecting nature and rejoicing in all of it shows peace and contentment achieved by honest work and social commitment. Thank You.

Such a thoughtful comment Peter, thank you 💛
