I Want This World to Last
How often do you pause for a moment and appreciate the world around you? Ephemeral Blooms This poem was inspired by a very simple daily event. I was walking down a sidewalk at work and saw how it was positively papered with fallen flowers. Even though it's all part of the usual cycle of things, it felt like the trees bloomed then shed their flowers in the blink of an eye. I put my writer's hat on and started thinking a little more about the literary implications of the pattern. It started my mind down the path of thinking about how flowers have short lifespans, but live them beautifully and vibrantly.

Winter
Winter. The season of snow and chilly days and evenings. Where in the morning you can see icicles on window sills and fog covering the windows. Behind that fog is the beautiful scenery. The snow is pure white and when the sun shines, it shines and sparkles like crystals. The snow is untouched in the morning, and when everyone starts to awaken, you can find footprints. Both by animals and humans.
