Like autumn leaves that drift to earth,
Winter’s first snow upon sleeping grass,
Bee that lights on rose’s face,
Walk softly in dawn’s first glow.

Lovely
It took me there, gently.
A scene well known,
yet as new as the new snowflakes,
with new eyes. Peace.

Beautiful images of completion and peace, moving into life and a new day. This is a very clever poem, with the internal rhymes and near-rhymes producing a haunting tone. I like it very much.

You have penned a wonderfully appropriate metaphor to simulate thoughts of walking softly in the dawn. And in that metaphor a beautiful image of nature is captured...who could ask for more. Very nice indeed...Alby
