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!
