Walk me into the empty green pine,
Leave me with ideas that I can call mine.
Let me feel the crisp air hit my plan face ,
Let me enjoy the beauty of one place.
Standing in the fallen snow in my ever lasting time , Thinking how stillness could ever be a crime.
As the small drops of sparkling coldness fall from the sky,
I wonder how a life could ever die.
So leave me in the pure chilling snow ,
For in a place of frozen simpleness I learn to never let go.

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
