Snow

Falling, falling

Soft fluffy and white

It falls

Covers the grey and harshness of the streets

It covers the footprints of the long forgotten

It is a land full of wonder and undiscovered mysteries.

It brings new peace

White snow

So angelic

I feel it crunch under my feet

Crunch crunch

I walk to a new bliss

Crunch crunch

I breathe in snow

Crunch crunch

I feel the snow thaw

On my cold face

Crunch Crunch

I continue to walk

So slow

And hear every crunch

Beneath my feet

I seize the moment

Me

In the midst of white

Of the land of whiteness

Of purity

Of innocence

But

The wind bites my cheek

Snow

Cold and sharp -

It gnaws at my fingers

I shudder and breathe

The black cars whisk past

Showering me in wet snow

Polluted snow

The world is

Harsh.

The moment of magic and angels and fluff

Seems to have blown away

With the blizzard

On this day

Frostbite nibbles at my fingers

My lips limp to numb blue

I don't feel

Nothing.

Snow has deceived me.
