AND

this only once 
 snowflakes kissed my fingertips -
how wonderful

❧✿❧

this only once -
magic of vacation days 
a blanket of snow

snowflakes kissed my fingertips -
there i was wide-eyed
mouth agape

how wonderful -
 lightness of flurry descent
from the heavens

    Magic moments, snow has been part of my life for decades, with the exception of nine years in Florida. I saw a woman wearing a rhinestone embellished mask yesterday ~~ it was awesome! Happy Sunday.
