First Snow

Tonight the conditions were just right. How beautiful. Welcome to the best season of the year.

My face feels the light of the cold air

and I smile.
Turning my head just enough
to keep it out of my eyes,
a single flake finds the corner of my mouth
and I smile.

I breathe deeply, opening my mouth
and the snow finds a warm home within.
I laugh as my nose catches the cold -
bewitched I am with this feeling

and I smile.
No one is around and all is as it should be
with me in the first snow

and you asleep in your bed.
This is my memory to keep,
which I remember
and I smile.
Here is my paradise:

Night, cold.

Fresh, new.
Life at its fullest is full of light
that catches my eyes
and I smile.
