To fall in love
With a snowstorm
Is to fall in love
With

           Silence.

With
         Mesmerizing
         Gentleness
And
         Individual
                   Icy
          Pinpricks
That
         Strengthen

         Slowly
And
         Blind
         Furiously
Until the earth
                     moans
And clouds of crystals
          Dance
             In
    Dizzying swirls

Before
            settling
Into a
            Blanket
That
            Muffles
The
            Silence
Of the
            Snowstorm

You
       Loved.
