Snow Should /Really/ Be Falling Right Now


"Snowfall" by TrinnBloom 2011

Red mercury plummets
And down, too, the snow falls
Frosty flurries drift slowly
Riding wind
Cov'ring all

All is calm
All is white
All is quiet
All not quite
As it was before
Hustle and bustle
Muffled
By the soft veil of snow

Snow continues to drift down
With no end in sight
Look up
Reach out
And catch
The flakes as they fall
On your hand
On your face
On your tongue

Cool and crisp
Crystals of ice
Last only for a moment
Blown by the wind
And piled into a collective white
No two snowflakes are alike
But suddenly no two are different

Down, down, down falls the snow
More on more
Build up
Ice up
Thaw out
And melt down

Then wait a little bit
Until the next snowfall.
