The land is white with snow

As I walk on it I feel like I am in heaven.

The lovely green trees bring me back and tell me how good life is on Earth.

I see the various forms of pure water,

In the lake and on the mountains.

The lake reflects the mountains, as I reflect on their beauty.

I feel the distance from the mountains,

But as I ponder over it, I feel closer to it.

I move closer to the mountains,

But fall in to the river.

The refreshing water cleanses my face

And I feel better and better as the seconds pass.
