A Crisp Walk In the Snow
Crunch as I walk along
With footprints that follow
A trail of fallen snow
Frost has become my feet
Biting up to my knees
With a nose of red
No cover over my head
A breath of smoke l see
With white glitter upon the ground
Like twinkling stars all around
I find no shelter to hold me
From afar I see a light
Warmth I do desire
Yet my feet no longer wonder
I lay upon these white sheets
Resting until my death
My breath now lacks fire
Smoke has disappeared
Silent I have become
Asleep I shall be at rest
Forever
(This is a poem I wrote about a Search and Rescue mission I went on when we found man that froze to death in the snow right before Christmas)
