Poem

All is pristine.
White lights twinkle,reflected on freshly fallen snow.
The black velvet backdrop of night
Enhances the perception of silvery glitter.
Each tiny flash excitedly gossips to their neighbor.
All is pristine.
There is no trace of mankind.
No hint of corruption or decay to distract from the beauty.
No footprints, no tire tracks,
No clots of snow pushed into dirty stacks
At every corner.
The scent of pine, of a snowflake, of a star filled winter sky.
Tears prick my eyes as the apple
Crisp wind blows across my numb face.
The tiny fuzz in each nostril freezes with every inhalation.

I lift my boot clad foot to take the first step
Into all of that vast ,clean,whiteness
And weep.
I weep for the innocence of childhood,
the freshly fallen snow of youth.
That first step Into puberty, that first taste of the forbidden fruit, into the knowledge of good and evil that inevitably leaves a nasty muddy footprint on my soul.
We do not get to begin again as winter does every turn of the earth. 
No, for us winter is forever. 
It remains.
We simply shuffle the dirty snow stacks
Into the dark corners of our minds.
This is why redemption is such a miracle!
And the scriptures say it best…
"Come now,and let us reason together,
Saith the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet,they shall be
White as snow.”
Isaiah 1:18
