This Place I Know

 Take a walk along a well known path.

Step upon the virgin snow.

Untrodden, it lies upon familiar ground,

This place of which I know.

 A sound of something new,

Arrives as the sun does rise.

It gives me great pleasure to view,

these early morning skies.

 Birds I know from afar,

I lay host for them to stay.

Still, I hope, as I tweak my lens,

Before they fly away.

 I escape my urban cell.

To a stage set just for me.

To witness the dawn's awakening,

Frozen, yet beautifully free.

 Soon the backdrop fades.

More colours are cast on show,

Never to be a dull moment, held here,

Within this place I know.
