Snow [View all]

White carpet cold stretched to the beyond
A frozen field infinite in its brightness
Blinding and silent in the chilled winter air
Icy wonder, the first snow of the season

Unbroken by footprints in the morning sunrise
A floor of cold crystals in front of me
Pearls of ice hang from twisted branches above
As I look ahead and take my first step

An explosion of sound blasts through the air
Breaking the silence of the winter morning
As I spoil the purity of the freshly laid snow
Ruining forever the innocence around me
