Winter Wonder

She blankets the tips
and softens the grip on time
blowing by muffling the harsh tones
of should and must as the low limber clouds move along
where your footsteps are loud and you can feel
your breath sink down into your throat

Time to get back to the routine and the One Four Challenge, I am looking forward to doing both. In case you are not familiar with this challenge or have forgotten how it works, here are a few details. I chose one image that I want to work on for four weeks. Each week, I will offer a new edited version of the same image. At the end of the four weeks, you get an opportunity to vote on your favorite version.
