Sounds of the Winter




"Sounds of the winter too,
sunshine upon the mountains, many a distant strain
from cheery railroad train, from nearer field, barn, house,
the whispering air - even the mute crops, garner'd apples, corn,
children's and women's tones - rhythm of many a farmer and of flail,
an old man's garrulous lips among the rest, think not we give out yet,
forth from these snowy hairs we keep up yet the lilt."

~Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

Happy Winter Solstice my friends, may this season be filled with peace and love for you all!
