The Colds Embrace
You lay there surrounded by the beauty of the flakes
That drift beautifully from the sky
You try to reach out to grasp the beautiful flakes
That have dazzled you for hours
The right arm you command to reach out with does not obey
You look down to see why not and see that it is a very pale color
You then command your left arm to reach for your pale arm but it does not obey either
You the realize to your horror that your skin from your neck to your feet is the same Pale color
Because while you watched the flakes
The flakes watched you and they took you into their embrace
and all that are caught in their grip never escape
