The Last Thirty Seconds
Flecks of cold,
Bury in skin.
Heat seeps into snow,
Breath expels into air.
Ice cleanses the soul.
Sinking into snow,
Pink skin becomes
Snow white.
Eyes open, staring
Into sky.
Clouds gather grey,
Snowflakes fall.
The edges of the world
Begin to elope.
Darkness envelopes,
into itself.
For the last time,
A snowflake falls.
Dancing in the wind
With itself.
From infinity to infinity.
Touches the tip of the nose.
And finally,
There is
Peace.
