Mistaken Glass For Snow

The snow around me, 
crisp and cool, 
such beauty and such splendor.
You'd think It's luscious
waves of ice 
shant hurt a foot so tender.
I breathe aloud
my hand reached out 
and grasped the sweet white stranger.
When I pulled back 
my hand drew blood 
not fathoming it's danger.
So in denial 
I took a while
Examining it's mass.
The beauty faded
White went red
mistaken snow for glass

(glass for snow)
