18 february





before the snow came

i walked the wood

 squatted down in snowy pathways

to discover tiny beauties painted by nature

flakes began to fall so softly

that i hardly noticed them stealing in at all 


in the night the storm winds battered against my bedroom window

blowing wet snow and salty spray

covering the purple berries that line the forest pathways
