Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt:
“Snowfall rouses your inner child to dream and play once more.” — Angie Weiland-Crosby
I've got snow on the brain... as does mother nature. Let this quote inspire you!

---------

Neither my inner child nor my outer one have seen snowfall in the last couple of decades, but then, this is what I get for living in South FL.

In memory, I shall never forget those flakes like white cotton puffs falling on my head and covering our then-yard like a quilt. It was as if the snow was saying to earth, "Hush, you nature's child; time to stay silent in your crib. It's my turn, now!"

So here's something short.

Snowfall

in the silent realm of winter's hush
dances of flakes start to rush

from heaven's height, a gentle call
a ballet of white, a snowfall

each flake becomes a masterpiece,
in fleeting joy, falls with ease

and snow pirouettes in loving grace
blankets the earth in an embrace
