Poetry: Fresh air

My winter's morning ritual begins inside
At five o'clock, sheets and blankets wrapped tight
Moonlight peeking through the folds of the curtains

Uncompromising chills hasten my transit
From bedsheets to bathroom
Hot water and heat lamps

Layers of wool, applied in anticipation
The cool steel of the door handle
Betrays what is waiting outside

An icy breeze meets my face and freezes
The small amount of water and cream
Left by the razor, only minutes before

Walking quickly, across the lawn
Footprints left in the thick frost
I breathe deeper with every step

The fresh air of the new day

    Walking in the country side.
    Mountains a perfect back drop,
