a tiny hamlet in the woods  
log cabins puffing smoke  
a rooster's "all is well" intrudes  
it's time to wake the folk

the fresh snow glitters as the sun  
sends embers down below  
the evergreens light up as one  
turn bluish as they glow

soon mammal bleats and squeaky doors  
add to the morning's sounds  
the dogs are barking on all fours  
the milkman makes his rounds

a tiny town, no wall or gate  
idyllic and pristine  
a perfect place to contemplate  
what is, and might have been
