Winter Windows
Oh, windows.
This is why people have windows.
The most mundane things
Painted with a coat of beauty.
Winter windows,
This is why it snows.
The most beautiful things
Nearly untouchable.
Oh, windows.
This is why we stay inside.
The most delicate powder
Turns my skin blue.
Winter windows.
Take a look out the window.
The snowfall blankets my body,
Hidden from sight.

Snow Melt
Many people in Colorado choose to spend their time outdoors when fresh snow falls.
I, on the other hand, like to curl up under the covers and watch the storm from inside.
I have always appreciated the beauties of winter from the safety and warmth of my bedroom.
However there are days when I bundle up enough to jump into the piles of snow outside, where I can experience it.
The way it sparkles when the light hits it, and brightens the world, softens your footsteps, and makes you wary of the ice that hides underneath.
I appreciate it for as long as I can because soon it will melt, and leave room for the flowers of spring to bloom.

Milk chocolate pyramids
Drizzled in inconsistent white “chocolate”
Bear a striking textural resemblance
To their gargantuan inspirations
After a snow storm

Snow Outside
Paralyzing light and shine that
Looks so innocent and inviting.
It suddenly steals your breath and
Knocks your feet away as your
Breath is puffed out in a cloud.
fresh fallen frozen fractals
coat cracks in crusty corners,
expressing eternal evolution of environments
that takes time to thrive
while weathering a worsening world.

Snow
As blinding as staring into the sun
Noticing only a glimpse of the white mountain.
A gust of wind blowing my hair around.
Blowing snow on my neck
My nose turning red
My face cold
My fingers numb
Looking up at the clouds
Letting the snowflakes fall on my tongue
Closing my eyes letting the snow fall on my face
