Flurries

My hands were purple and numb 

There was ice in my veins 

And snowflakes on my hair 

Soon to be nothing left besides my remains 


My body was furiously shivering 

Shaking like a leaf 

Well, that’s a bit extreme

After all, it was quite brief 


I had no toes and no hope

My breath was all I could see  

I am praying to God that I can survive the angry white flurries 

Falling all around me 


Yet, it stopped.

Or maybe my heart did 

I could feel the world fading around me

Either way, I was amid… 

 

The white flurries that had seemed to relax

Which caused a more quiet scene 

Where it was relatively peaceful

Instead of all fiery and mean

It follows the ABCB rhyme pattern and it shows how when people freeze, they lose track of the world around them: all they can think about is how cold they are.
