The Wintery Landscape

Alone, cold, huddled in the new fallen snow.
While beautiful flakes drift past me face.
And I think to myself, “what do you know?”
It’s because of your ineptness that you’re in this place.
As I mentally berate myself, something catches my eye.
I lift my head and a warmth spreads across it.
In the distance, up in the starry winter sky.
Just seeing it brings me out of my self dug pit.
As the light draws nearer I stand, snow falling from me.
I open my arms and bathe in the white glow.
The light doesn’t hurt my eyes, and my joy boils over.
I become even happier, and my blood once again flows.
As the light lands in front of me, I notice a feminine form.
My joy is so abounding, my nakedness doesn’t matter.
The heat radiating from her is relentless and my skin once again warms.
All traces of white begins to melt from me and hit the snow with a patter.
She takes me in her arms and I know that I have been saved.
Trapped in her warm embrace, everything seems perfectly right.
All my worries have subsided, all my problems have been disappeared.
She hugs me close to her body and flys me into the night.
