Muffled Silence 

Muffled silence of the wilderness

What little sound there is

Echoes off the snow covered rocks

Deep paw prints leaving a trail

Through the white canyon

Follow the tracks, where will they lead?

What will be seen around the corner?

A deep throated growl in the distance

Sending shivers down your spine

Looking around for some cover

Finding nothing but snow clad land

Standing still, ears pricked for sound

Muffled silence of the wilderness

Is all that can be heard now....

I saw a wonderful photo of an aerial view of some animals

trekking through a rocky pass in the deep snow,

it made me think, how would I cope if it was me..?
