Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening (Endless Winter: A Poet's Heart)

Whereby each flake of downy transience  
Aloof, finds not earthly sense,  
But to land, it is recieved:  
Conforms to its ground on a patchworked fence.  

A farmhouse afar is a block enshrouded  
Never moving to find us of it clouded,  
Housing each protected hay-bale and beast to serve us  
It waits so unmoved and ever so grounded.  
 
As my steps sink ever lower to reach  
A half-frozen sod to soak my feet  
I think of how well the barn keeps dry,  
I wonder how much like us, its woodwork is incomplete.  
 
A crystalline scene, I blink back the cold  
Eyelashes frosted, of the shelter be told:  
Let me be out here instead,  
I need not anywhere yet to lay my head.  
 
          .....
