Let It Snow

Feb 24, 2023
1 min read

Completely comfortable

Cold yet warm

Calm yet excited

Taking what it gives you


Enjoy it while you can

Getting high on the moment

Time moves slowly

Time moves quickly


Don't lose perspective

Each moment delivers

Unique in its structure

Structured in its uniqueness


Being alone

But never alone

Friends all around

But total strangers


Smiles abound

Hollering and screaming

Cheering and supporting

Delight in each other


We live to be connected

Finding common ground

Competency is irrelevant

Celebrate trying, helping and have fun


I love Snow

I love what it allows

I love its simplicity in providing

A platform for being your best self



By Barton West
