A Sigh Into Snow
The snow makes the night lighter
Manipulates the dark
Into a bedtime story
The inky sky becomes
A hazy wonder
And you knew it would
Be one of those nights
The kind you don't forget
The snow a pillow beneath your soft feet
The exhale of your lonesome breath
Curling in the white bliss
Bury your past in each stride
The night gleaming
Not the warm sharp ended glow of a candle
But silver iridescence
You feel the teeth of the wind
Biting at your fingertips
But you couldn't care less
The dust had collected on your free life
for years
That calamity that hunted your face
Filled with mascara tears
Now silky
Like the moon in the sky
