Winters dream

by Kimberly Bauer

The snow wouldn't stop falling today.
With no apologies, the sky released its cry.
It covered the roads, keeping wary indoors.
And swept away the dirt under a coat of white.

Silence.

It does not whisper in its passing.
Quietly, it just exists.
Solidifies each breathing moment
holding the world tight in an icy kiss.

Friend or foe, it surrounds.
Imploding each destination with graceful force.
One small piece at a time to reach the sky again.
Always moving to keep the world still.

Peace.

Your imagery tickles my brainbuds in a very pleasant way. Thank you for sharing. :)

I feel like my old manager did when she discovered Tom Cruise, ... I know I have nothing to do with your talent but I can fiercely encourage you, and I do.

This is really lovely. "It does not whisper in its passing. Quietly, it just exists. Solidifies each breathing moment holding the world tight in an icy kiss." Beautiful!
