it may seem quiet
after the storm
still now
the creaking logs
settle into stone
as the rain clouds clear
rising mist
clearing tree top
we breathe again
our soaked clothes
steam
and
squelch
wet hands slide together
cold becoming warm
we are walking on
with waters running deep.

A beautiful poem - a lovely hiking vignette! Metaphorical, too, I'm sure, but the imagery of the hike is so well composed!
love it... just like the holidays that past, everyone is busy and now we need to settle down and back to normal life. praying for the better...
happy new year!
