Cowards cower here
They lack strength in lonely...

Snow White
All is pristine
White lights twinkle,reflected on fresh fallen snow.
The black velvet backdrop of night
Enhances the perception of silvery glitter.
Each tiny flash excitedly gossips to their neighbor.

Forgotten land, hopes, and dreams
grow thinner every day. The air tastes like poison
