… but only when it rains

dirty city snow, salt puddles, neige jaune

I love the cold, crisp air of winter

champagne powder

and the solitude of a northern stillness

winter also has a darkness

shortest days of the year

but there’s another darkness that hangs over us

the dark shadow of greed, war, discrimination and hatred

may doom our planet to an eternal winter

but for now I’ll embrace a winter of clean white snow and solitude

and wait for the days to get longer again
