white, pure white

glowing,  growing —

a glorious sight

each minuscule flake binds to the next

creating a blanket of innocence, rest

what once lay speckled with trees and grass

now appears a sea of white glass

what was

      f     a       d        e         s                a             w                a                  y          

what is, takes its place

what will be, slumbers                  

b         the blanket of rest          

   e      the sea of white glass

      n  e  a   t   h 

what is, now what was —

blanket tossed away,

glass fractured 

every hue 

                     reignited!

to something grand, something new.
