I
A thick blanket of silence
Covering the trees
Tiptoeing around

II
A mistake made in time
Erased from memory in a whirl
Blinking eyes to bring it back

III
An stark canvas
Awaiting fulfillment
Satiation until contentment

IV
Pure and lucid
As perfect as a pearl
Innocent, immaculate, inculpable

V
Closed and concealed
Obscure and unseen
Dim in the savage tempest

VI
A sharp, static sound
In a moment of panic
Slicing through the erratic space

VII
A white dove
Rising from beneath the shadows
Struggling to crane its neck into the light

VIII
A young child
Reaching out
Touching the white snow for the first time.
