Over snow covered paths
I walk along,
the winter wind
like blades of steel
slicing right through.
My breaths freeze
deep in the lungs,
I gasp for air
but only snowflakes
gently, lovingly
engulf me
in their falling game.

Chilly winds caress
till I feel certain,
I’ve lost bones and flesh
to an icy built,
and  am united
with the frozen land.
