In the woods, footsteps will follow,
Hovering near the frozen lake.
Though it's nothing but a shadow.
***
Hidden within the tree hollow.
Can a shadow make the earth quake?
In the woods, footsteps will follow.
***
Dwelling in its winter burrow,
Watching the still woods wide awake.
Though it's nothing but a shadow.
***
Tucked safely away to wallow,
Its weight made the tree branches ache.
In the woods, footsteps will follow.
***
But it was known for its sorrow,
Unaware of its one mistake.
Though it's nothing but a shadow.
***
The worry should be gone by morrow,
And fully dissolved by daybreak .
In the woods, footsteps will follow.
Though it's nothing but a shadow.

Clean Home Brings Happiness
Discover the wisdom of an age-old saying: “Money cannot come through dirty doors!” It’s a profound reminder of the significance of cleanliness, which starts with the clarity and brightness of your home’s windows. Clean windows reflect the inner beauty of the people dwelling within. A clean heart brings the tranquility of a spring breeze, and a pristine home bestows an extra layer of peace and serenity.
