Snow White Feathers

My skin was cold,
From freshly fallen snow.
So  pure,
A sparkling white that made the  scenery glow.
Reminds me of a dove
One I’ve dreamt to know. 


Snow danced,
The wind whistled.
As I stood there in thought. 
I stood until my skin turned blue,
I stood until my teeth chattered.


But whenever I thought of her,
temperature ceased to matter.
I let out a breath,
One filled with forgotten words.
Words I could never say to the snow

This was really nicely crafted and expressive. That last stanza was very cool.
