I stood in the cold snow
Arms crossed
Over my broken winter ribs
Fingernails digging into my pale arms

The cold mountain air
Absorbs into my frail bones
Raspberry lips parted
Amazed by the beauty

Green eyes gazing at the sleeping mountains
Tree roots spread across the ground
As to keep the Earth from collapsing
From cold winter tremors

The hazy moons glow
Constellations of stars
Dance as if at a royal ball
Clouds swirling like cigarette smoke
