White 
Blankets
Cover the
Earth; time slows down,
And the drifting flakes 
Lighten my heavy heart.
The quiet nights spent under 
The milky moonlight and bright stars -
Breathing in and emptying my mind - 
It is when I finally feel at peace;
There are no expectations when all
The world has laid its head to rest. 
No requirements to be,
I feel I can lay down
My weary bones and 
Fade away in
The endless 
Fields of
Snow.
