"Falling Flakes"
Dancing circle of light from the candle below,
Beneath the covers, I briefly rest and enjoy the winter snow.
Unable to close my eyes, blinds raised, falling flakes take my breath.
The beauty they possess mesmerizes as they plummet to their death.
Tempted to draw the shades and squelch this distraction,
Instead, my eyes grow weary as I enjoy this moment of satisfaction.
