Absense of Snow

The way is clear and not encumbered. 
No shoving with my feet and labored, 
breath. 
I walk and smell no roses. 
I feel my life instead of death. 
The sky is blues and sunny. 
The clouds are white and far away. 
The snow is absent around about me. 
I sense the absence of the snow. 
It must be what Heaven will be. 
No snow or ice or death. 
I will kiss you all someday. 
When I am there. 
Gone away. 
To rest.
