Euphoric

The descending snow in winter transforms my mind into a trance.
The onerous tumbling snowflakes seem to mingle, as if to dance.

As they land upon my face, they embrace each pore within my skin.
A quite profound interaction, between Mother Nature and her kin.

These hypnotizing snowflakes, slowly cover all that’s around.
The freshly fallen snow muffles out each and every sound.

It’s like I’m trapped within a moment of time, each flake and I become as one.
Then I feel the bite of the freezing cold and this euphoric dance is suddenly done.

When I think of all the life that is thriving upon this earth.
I’m really just only a speck and I have been since my birth.

Thank you S1 for your generous placement. Every year when I watch that first heavy snowfall I am always in awe.

Thanks Caren! We have gotten snow a couple of times, but for right now it has all melted. Very strange for North Dakota. We are usually up to our knees by now. It's suppose to be in the 60's this week.
