Frozen drops flutter down onto my closed lids

A sharp wind cuts through my wool hat and numbs my mind

I open my eyes to stare into the white

The temperature is seven below and my heart pumping

Is the one thing that reminds me that I'm alive

I would be grateful to die above such a sky

With the tranquil cold dancing around me

Quieting every thought as I remain there laying

The snowflakes flying past my eyesight and into the vast white

The sun drifting away and turning the clouds pink before leaving for the night

I let out a deep sigh just to see the steam rise from my lips and stand up leaving the neutral white in favor of the warm atmosphere of my room
