Release

Soft falling snow in the night
Wakens the senses in darkness
Everything wears a coat of white
But the beauty it brings is no less

Sprinkles sparkle in light through air
Melting upon the touch of my skin
All I can do is stop, stand and stare
Releasing needless battles I can’t win

I think that is the best thing anyone can do, release those battles you can't win. Beautifully done Heidi
