I sit
alone
looking out the window
pondering the white
and I think
winter is like glass
fragile and beautiful
still, silent life
a frost kiss
in my world of dark
and I sit
looking out my window
while the snow falls
and time stands still
the wind whispering
the clock ticking
and it feels like and eternity
but I like it
so different
from my dead, desolate dreams
so I watch
as the clouds come to play
the calm is a drug
numbing the brain
bringing peace of mind
the pit-pat of cat feet
draws nearer
as silence comes
to sit beside me
and I enjoy his company
for he, like winter
is my friend
so we sit
side by side
looking out our window
where time cannot reach us
and the cold is an angel
I wish
that I won't wake up
and my dream won't shatter
like the glass that it is
but wishes
almost never come true
and inevitably
I will wake
and leave my friend behind
broken and lonely
with only memories
but memories are like photographs
they stay with you always
unless you lose them
so I pray
my friend won't lose me
and I
won't lose him.
