• The snow fell with no sound as life around me began to freeze-
    almost like time stopped in front of me. I touched the snow,
    as soft as cotton, but instantly melted in my palm. As I walked I listened
    to the crunch of the snow and ice crystals.


    Days go by with the cold changing. Soon the cottony snow turned
    into sheets of glass. Soon the crunch into cracks and snaps.
    Snow swiftly turned into rain and, and soon the formed into jagged
    ice upon the ground.


    The days of ice turned into weeks. Cars drove with caution. Icicles
    formed on roofs and signs. Ice piled on sidewalks and cars. Ice
    broke windows, broke bones, broke live, making minds shatter
    under the mighty force of the Mother.


    I walked on the ice and fell. i cut my leg and saw the blood blend
    with the snow. The ice felt like a nicked edge. The next day all had
    melted away. Faded. Left us with no warning, as peace reigns over,
    all we can do is wonder.
