Snow falling softly on lashes of eyes you love, and a cold cheek growing warm next to your own in hushed dark familial December.

Is it for miracles
We live? I like it when the morning sun lights up my room Like a yellow jelly bean, an inner glow. May mutters: "Why ask questions?" or, "What are the questions you wish to ask?"
