the snow is falling

the snow is falling

thick

too slow and yet too fast

everything is muffled

sound limited to the soft thumps of trees shaking the snow from their bare arms

i have somehow sunk to my knees

and now i am laying down

my head tilted to the side 

so all i can see is the falling snow

and the water droplets on my eyelashes

and all i can think is how easy it would be

to lie here

and listen to the silence

forever
