oh. hello winter.

the first real snow of winter tonight.

surprisingly calm and beautiful.

i walked home smiling. mouth open, catching snow flakes on my tongue.


i long for time to move as slowly and quietly as the snowfall tonight.

i feel it slipping, slipping, slipping through my fingers.


and as time slips away my sanity escapes as well. resigned to rest, i walked through the empty house and spied the quiet world out there. blanketed in snow.

it made me happy.


and covered in prayers, i now seek rest.
