The pure white snow crunches under my feet.
In the distance, smoke floats higher and higher until it slowly disappears.
Overhead, birds fly far, far away, chirping quietly.
I sigh, it’s like a reminder of my hard times.
The times I left the city town.
There was barely any snow in my old home,
But here the snow is as white as a cloud.
I put the thought to the back of my mind.
I left that life there, I am here to start fresh.
I keep trudging forward in the snow,
Until I see my old hut.
Home, at last.
I walk around the hut, looking around.
I feel better, safer, happier.
I know I made the right choice,
To come back.
To my
True
Home.
