living inside a snow globe


something about the first couple times it snows...
you feel warm and cozy and special (yes i said special)
and it's so quiet
this morning i laid in bed watching snowflakes float past my window
and listened to the nothingness
i don't know how to describe the sound of nothingness
but, it sounds like snow falling
ah snow
in a day or two
it will be dishevelled and marked with footprints and pee stains and salt
it will be half melted off the trees and the roof tops
leaving us with dirty slush that froze again and cold
and just like that the magic is gone
until next year when it first snow falls again
