I drive with one hand on the steering wheel,

and the other clasped tightly

around Ella's hand.

The snow falls

in heavy patterns,

pelting the windshield

with tiny feathers,

gently caressing the glass,

quietly chilling the air.

She looks at me and grins,

I see the highway lights reflected

in her dark pupils.

"Where are we going?" she asks.

"You'll see," I say.

The wipers moan softly as they

sweep the sorrow away. Ella hums 

on passing clouds. I squeeze her hand tighter.

We continue in a pasture of white,

counting the footprints

on our hearts.
