It's Snowing Again
Snowflakes like feathers float to the ground.
They pile up silently without making a sound.
Some fall down straight, others blow around.
One thing in common to earth they are bound.
I look upwards to the sky it appears so white.
It is kind of strange for the middle of night.
As the cold wind blows I feel its bite.
All I see is snow, it blocks my sight.
As I walk through, it starts to get deep.
I slip a little on this slope that is steep.
The dampness into my bones it does seep.
Angels must be cold, frozen tears they weep.
I go inside to seek shelter from the storm.
I feel the cold and need to get warm.
Covered in snow I look like someone else.
As I thaw out I soon return to myself.
