Snow-Child


I’m waiting for the swirling snow
To stand in a world turned crystal
Stretching wide in a cold white blanket

I’m wrapped tight in a warm blanket
The frozen window between me and the snow
The glass panes are frosted like craved crystal

I’m dreaming of bright winter crystals
Head on the pillow; tucked under the blankets
Everywhere and everything covered in snow

I’m a snow-child with a crystal throne in a world blanketed with white

  10. The thing about snow that is so ethereal and true for me..

    is it is never the same and all as one.. in snow packed streets..

    of crystalized art... so unique in reflections of physics as art...

    First there was art.. and the rest is history.....
