Becoming

The clouds
cover the sky,
a thick gray blanket, yet
I can see beyond them
to the sun
fringing
the blazing horizon.

The air
is bitter cold
yet my soul,
and heart, revels
in its own heat.

From the sky
falls snow,
chill, wet, heavy;
I admire the beauty
of each delicate flake.

I stand in wonder
of every cloud,
wisp of wind,
and snowflake.

All around is harsh
yet I am soft,
pliable, breathing in
our existence.
