Winter's Breath

Winter's Breath

I gasp as the cold caress of Winter’s Breath envelops me.
Like eagerly awaiting the return of a long lost love, I revel in its touch.

On my back I lie – ethereal flakes descending ever so slowly to greet me.
A hint of sound as their tiny bodies reach the earth.

I close my eyes and fall asleep.
My lover’s kisses on my cheek.
