Darkness Falls

The snow falls lightly over my shoulders

Acting as my shadow.

It allows me to walk the night

Invisible.

The snowflakes fall on my face

Sending shivers through me

Leaves me freezing.

I wrap my arms around myself

And stand beneath the light pole.

Waiting for eternal rest, 

from this cold feeling brushing my shoulder.

death.
