The wind blows through my open window
Billowing the curtains like a ghost
The sound of the rain has slowed
And the night regains its silence
I bring my blanket closer
To keep outside the chill
But the silence calls to me
An eerie orange glow is cast
Over everything in sight
As the silent snowfall begins
Each white speck an intricate design
Melting away into the wet concrete
But the night sky refuses its defeat
The snowfall quickens, thickens
And a crisp white blanket covers the ground
There is no sound at all
The snow has muffled life itself
Tomorrow, children will play
Crunching underfoot
But tonight, the world is silent
Tonight, the world sleeps alone
