Gray clouds swallow the sun's warmth
leaving only a chilled gloom behind.
Bare branches shutter in the wisps of wind
like bones shivering at winter's tight grasp.
White unblemished snow flutters down
landing with a sting of cold upon warm flesh.
Lips curve upward in a faint smile;
warm white puffs of breath slowly escaping.
Dormant brown grass blades fold with the weight;
body facing toward the sky and flattening to the earth.
Eyes searching out each flakes' downward decent,
falling with a delicacy of weightless freedom
