moonlit path

bare trees lined the path
silent sentinels
slicing the moonlight
into ribbons
of pale brightness
and shadow
against the snow.
footsteps fell
muffled by a
crystal carpet
laid down one
flake at the time.
the wood
wrapped in snow
seemed somehow
magical.
each step
along the path
passing from
moonlight
to shadow
and back
erased a bit
of the sadness
eased a bit
of the pain
healed
with mystic
power
the heartburn
that started
when the
late news
ran the story
of your
unsolved murder.
