The Snow Falls

The snow falls,
closes us all down.
We stop and all things
come to a slow halting.
We stand motionless.

The snow falls,
hiding our tracks.
Turning the world white,
erasing all our pasts.
History is lost.

The Snow falls,
we could forget.
Leave it all behind.
Just wipe all these landscapes
of memory clean.

The snow falls,
as we wait here.
All we can do, is
watch the world disappear
under its blankets.

The snow falls,
slower, then stops.
Time begins again.
A new land emerges,
ready to begin.
