snow falls softly

on the surface

settles there

flake by flake

buffering the noise

within

my chin tilts

downward

my eyelids close

exhale…

resting without

a sound

snowflakes fall

flake by flake

all around me. 

J. Belle

I sit

at my window

watching

the snow fall

on the city below

there’s a

softness

about the morning

all the edges

blurred

there’s comfort

in knowing

that the harshness

of the night

worn smooth

the morning sigh

caresses

my cheeks

& forehead

I am left

breathless
