the moonlit side of reality (a poetry collection)

Poesia

Sometimes, when stories aren't enough, I turn to poems. Sometimes, when I set a pen to paper, magic flows out. Sometimes, when I write poetry, something beautiful happens.

44. the first snow

that feeling of being cold

so cold

chilled numb but

you're warm

so warm

because layers of jackets

and scarves

and hats

and gloves

and you look like one gigantic mess of insulation

and there's snow

billions of swirling, dancing flakes

smacking down so hard it leaves you a little breathless

but then sighing gently into the ground,

laying out foundation for

more snow.

you look beyond

and all you see is white streams of peace

coming down in ribbons,

slanting, twisting, zigzagging,

but still coming down,

always hitting the ground,

and you close your eyes and feel

worth it.

the snow is tangled in your hair and you still feel

worth it.

your hands are slightly numb but you still feel

worth it.

everything is big,

so big,

and you're small,

so small,

and yet

you still feel

worth it.
