Finding it... by Anonymous

Finding it…

It was a Brisk winter afternoon,

                                                        At first a

                                                             Beautiful day

                                         then                                                 

                       Everything collapsed, fell into ashes,

Faster than the sun's morning rays

                                         That morning, it was a beautiful day, fresh snow from the day before lay in sheets unmatted, untouched,                         

        Unlike everything else in the world; infected with human expansion.      

                 I had planned everything,

To every, last, detail.

                 But alas, as they say

                                          Nothing lasts forever. Not the good, nor the bad

                             And for some reason, on that particular day,  

              The universe decided to throw me a curveball. 

Cloaked and basked in the frigid winter sun, 

                                                                                     I departed my peaceful slumber, 

that morning, I couldn't believe my eyes,

For outside lay a winter wonderland, 

the world all cozied up under the fuzzy white blanket. 

As any self-respecting 10-year-old would, 

I decided there was absolutely no possibility of me,

                   NOT. GOING. OUTSIDE!

The fluffy white snow

 stamped with footprints of mine leading to my door.   

His doorbell rang louder than the Liberty Bell 

As he opened the door

I welcomed him into our own winter wonderland

All the time, 

I felt something, something missing,

No, I felt it missing,

 I just couldn't put my finger on it.

Later, after a warm cup of hot chocolate

I meandered into my basement

Only to open the drawer

There it was, I found it 

In front of me, the thing that I felt missing

I found it….
