Poetry: Winter Wonderland

The icy blast of death
Left snow that froze over the land
And everything was still
Motionless dreams of starting over

Boulders of snow fall down a hill
Snowball fights in the courtyard
Ice clung tight to the trees
Like that one desperate girl at prom

The winter chill sets in
My hands are stiff from frostbite
I tightly packed them into my jacket
It just happened to be my luck

I ducked the falling snow
Doing my best to keep warm
My lungs are begging for oxygen

Shallow breathing is the only option
I made it home just in time
I tried to warm up with a cup of coffee
