Walking alone.
On that empty trail.
With that fresh snowfall covering it.
I am walking alone.
It is silent.
No noise, except for the sound of my feet.
Crunching on the frozen ground.
I am walking alone.
But suddenly, I stop.
I see something in the trees.
I turn, to see a red bird.
Stop, and land in the middle of the road.
The red bird is a blur on the new-fallen snow.
I am walking, but this time, not alone.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem back in 6th grade. It is the first poem I have ever seriously written. I wrote it for a school assignment, and my teacher enjoyed it. I've kept the poem with me, and I'm proud to say it was my first legitimate piece of work I've done.
