First Snow

Crunching eggshells underfoot
Grinding sugar between molars
Popping and sliding
Soft gravel

A blanket of hypothermic proportion
Draped in innocence

Lake of silent tranquility
Undisturbed yet inviting
As the soft hair behind a dog's ear

All creation slumbers on this frigid morn
Curiosity and solitude awaken the senses.
