Day 14

a day of inaccuracies
(on my part)
small errors
but enough to wound my ego
and wake me up
or rather
cause me to realize
I'd been asleep

after the fourth
I stepped outside
to clear my head
let my foot
fall slowly into the snow
breaking that top layer
reluctant, then full force

I felt the moisture
and the cold
seep through the
soles of my shoes
willing myself to remember
this is sacred ground
tread lightly

I went back inside
awake, determined
to pay attention
