Simply Breathing.

Wrapped in a petticoat

cheeks flushed from cold

She walked down the street

In the glistening night snow.

maybe it was ten or nine

And she was all alone

But she just wasn't scared

the only emotion she'd known.

Abandoned all her tears

and smiled up at the sky

She felt like she could float

so she closed her eyes and tried.

This true simplistic beauty

The kind not man made

She never knew how to live

Until that snowy day.

I really like how down to earth this poem is. It tells a good story of acceptance and moving on, and the words flow smoothly. But definitely a job well done
