Snow
Is snow always this white?
I have never known white so white
The canine racing through
Skipping fluff
I can see my breathing
I can hear my breathing
I can feel the elements
The cold wind on my little back
The freeze carried by the air
Through my nostrils
Sharp
Like glass
Only gentle
And soft
But for real, for real
Is snow always this white?
Makes me think
Of classmates
who have never seen snow
Who wore purple dresses and said
This color is snow-white
It made me smile then
And it makes me wonder now
About the white of the snow
I want to focus and for hours see
Contemplate and learn
About the white of the snow
And nothing more and nothing less
But to be so aware of something
So
White.
Is that still white?
