WHITE CARPET

I look through my window... so much beauty outside!!!...

Snowflakes dancing to the wind.

The cold wind gently humming melodies of Winter

while the white flakes, floating and twirling,

softly land on the pine trees,

on the trees of bare branches,

on the bushes...

While the flakes, by the thousands,

softly land on the ground

forming a fluffy white carpet.

Cotton candy carpet,

sugar powder carpet of my childhood sweets.

This dance brings peace and lullaby my visions

while awakening my " I " from deep sleep.

And I realize that to all the noises of life,

the white carpet comes to mellow our steps,

and silence our feet.
