Snowfall

I really like snow. Yeah...that's just about it.

Cold. 

The air's too dry.

I'm sick. 

Of life, and also just sick.

Skies 

are 

gray

and

they've been 

that way for too long now.

My mind is muddled; what am I even doing? Why does it matter, really?

Dull mornings, tiresome classes,   next?

Ooooooh. I look

outside, and

I see

magic!

And I

just

know,

Everything is going to be 

okay.

I needed that

snow.

They often say

  Time      heals all    wounds.

That's a laugh.

        Wounds leave scars.

But I'd agree,

  Time   wounds all    heels.

Snow               heals faith.

It's  

so  

beautiful!         

I can't help but marvel

as soft flakes fall to the ground.       

No one can convince me snow is harmful.    

It's the best medicine for my soul, so who cares if it's not so great for my body?

There's a reason we call it a blanket of snow: Snow wraps the earth in a cuddly blanket,

and I can't help but forget how terribly cold and dangerous the weather might be, because it's snow!

Nothing can be wrong, all ends with a coat of silvery snow. Just this once, I can believe everything is truly okay.

First off, I LOVE the use of shape in your formatting. :D Second, I really enjoy the assortment of emotions you employ in each of the separate portions; it really displays the complexity of the mind as these images flit past the back of the eyes as we watch something. Finally, I love the sort of rebellion you showcase in the snow drift. "I don't care what others say; I'm going to enjoy what makes me happy." Very nice work indeed. :)

Thank you for such a detailed, thoughtful review! I'm glad you caught the personality behind the snow drift section; I was worried it might sound more like an excuse than a choice.

[Jared Michael Smith]

No, no, it sounded great! And you're very welcome. :)
