Downtown Toronto

Day Snow Walk

 

I walked on ice, asphalt, rock-salt and snow

This is much like the make up of the world we know

They are elemental surfaces that exist under our feet

Diverse they are in colour, texture along the snowy heap

 

When walking in the winter you see less folks on the prowl

They are seasonal movers like some choosy night owl

The quiet is conducive for good meditational time

Which might get interrupted at a snow bank climb

 

Snuggled in coat, pants and favourable footwear

It becomes an exercise in breathing fresh air

I look down, I look up, then come to a halt at the light

Giving attention to the amber, red, and green so bright

 

My legs, limbs, and lips are also on the move

It’s not a cold shiver but a mantra the monks approve

Har Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

May the Source be with you!

May the snow be with you!
