Fresh Snow
  Infinite black stretched across the sky
  With little glints of light, twinkling.
  Somehow seeming perfectly placed.
  Sitting on the roof of her house
  They cuddled in mounds of blankets
  Sipping hot chocolate to keep warm.
  The crisp air stained with apples
  And corn fields in the distance are packed with deer
  Nibbling away, crunching the leaves.
  All the while, they gazed at the night sky 
  Admiring from afar
  With the moon illuminating the yard
  Giving it a darker look, rather than light.
  She conserves this view
  For it was filled of happiness and warmth
  And she feared letting that go.
  But it’s beginning to get colder
  Frost pushed down on the grass
  And trees no longer lit up with vibrant colors
  Fiery reds, blazing oranges, and bright yellows
  Shreds of colors were torn little by little
  Now they were black, drowning in grief.
  The wind was howling gently
  Blowing away the leaves
  That fell dead, mid-way through autumn.
  The scent of apples vanished
  And the cold burned her nose
  Her mug of chocolate empty
  Now feeling alone.
  The endless black in the sky was gone
  But instead stretched a bright white cloud
  It released little snowflakes
  That landed on the tip of her nose
  
  They were falling around her everywhere
  Creating a new blanket and now
  She couldn’t feel the cold
  The snow that floated through the air
  Almost seemed to warm her up
  Sending jolts of joy through her
  The trees weren’t grieving
  But at last had a new found beauty
  The freshly fallen flakes of snow.
