Snowflakes gentle themselves on my tongue as I lie in contemplation
The snow angel cradles my thoughts of awe and bittersweet
I watch the inky sky and white flakes with fascination
Crazy ideas warring with common sense make my heart skip a beat
Come sanity and turn my world back right-side up
Lend me a reality that helps me know how life is good
Banish pointless tears - pour out that angst-filled cup
No longer the little lamb lost in the wood
Sing out winter's cold and joy to all the little girls and boys
And hold on to the hope - no matter how painful it seems
Tear myself away from captivating screens and technical toys
Lie back in the snow and find reality's dream.
