Alive

Poetry / By

I know I exist,

I can see my breath in the air.

Snowflakes swaying in the air as they gently grace the ground,

I carry on.

I know I exist,

The ducks drifting upon the water flee upon my presence.

The clouds drifting in the sky not bothered by the wind,

I carry on.

I know I exist,

People avoid grazing my body as they walk on by.

As the snowflakes pile on,

Winter carries on.
