Snowfall

In the silence of evening,

my gaze appeared captured by 

the whirlwind of snow,

a breezing blizzard,

dancing in spotlight,

in muted moonlight.

I trembled in its chill,

my eyes wandering slowly

to the ground below,

a blanket of intricate patterns,

all together,

but not forever.

It mesmerized my senses,

my sleepy stare remembering

the sweetly falling snow,

a dream outside my window,

if only I could stay awake-

if only, I would stay awake...

and I would dream this snowfall,

to cool the heated weathers,

now and forever.
