Snowy Night

Stretching hands

Searching the night

Groping the air

Looking, finding, holding

Coveting the night in breathy amaze

Outspread tongues

Tasting the night

Drinking the air

Hoping, catching, breathing

Swallowing the night in chilly gasps

Dancing feet

Sweeping the night

Riding the air

Twirling, leaping, spinning

Imprinting the night in dreamy footsteps

Eager hands

Promising night

Unearthly air

*****

Dancing sparkles

Frosting the night

Spicing the air

Falling sweetly, softly

Blanketing the night in wavy stillness

Cheery ice drops

Shimmery night

Dusting the air

Blowing gently, coldly

Covering the night in curling crystals

Swirling ice flakes

Blessing the night

Gracing the air

Touching, draping, holding

Silencing the night in cloudy pillows

Lacy powder

Beautiful night

Fairy dust air

I'm not exactly sure how, but I missed this before.

It's beautiful.

But I'm glad I caught it now! This was beautiful! I can see everything perfectly- let me guess: it wasn't snowing very hard, right? Just a nice, relaxed snowfall? Ahhh... : )

Brother: Your character should drive a motorcycle.
Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
Brother: Then make it a four-wheel-drive motorcycle!

Thanks!
Yes, it was one of those puffy, silent snowfalls, all slow and relaxed...sadly, it's supposed to rain tomorrow.
