Grateful MAG
When I slip
beneath the sheets, spent
as a sodden tea bag,
I am grateful.
In my mind it snows.
Noiseless snow,
the kind that artists paint
for Christmas cards
and poets call down –
perfect for angels,
or a hoof print
if I were a deer.
Silent, still
as a sleeping newborn
in my mind
when I awake to dawn
illuminating
the underbellies of leaves,
my muscles rested.
I lie, awed
by the quiet strength of one
infantile morning
and the heat creeps
like a secret
through the radiator.
And I am grateful.
In my mind it snows.

Wow, I really loved this poem. It's so calming and the visuals are unique and refreshing. I really like how the hushed, calm quality of the poem is just like the snow you write of. Great job!
