THE LAST SNOW
I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We used to get some great snow here. I can barely remember a really nice snow here around 2005..maybe? I watch Korean shows cuz I love the culture and the story-telling. I'm re-watching one called One Spring Night and one scene caught my attention in particular cuz it began to snow and a song that said "seasons change" hit me just right and so I wrote this quick as I could cuz it just felt good and cuz I miss snow cuz I used to love to feel it on my skin and to drive in the quiet solitude and the magic feel of it. Enjoy..I hope..lol
