quiet winter day

school was called off but i still woke up early

i woke up early to watch the snow coat the green grass with white

as the window fogged, i lost sight

i grabbed my gloves and boots

and i ran outside and looked up to the sky

i closed my eyes and stuck out my tongue

i caught snowflakes with happiness

the sun started to set

i laughed and fell in the snow

i moved my arms and legs in sync to make snow angels

the christmas tree lights in the window were bright

and tonight was a good night

to sit and enjoy the beauty of a quiet winter day.

    like a bird in the great open sky,

    or a puppy full of sweet little dreams.
