There was a gasp as the first snowflake was seen through the murky window
outside the cold had suffocated all its surroundings
it looked fearful and full of anger
the snow fell down and broke the tensions
it fell so peacefully without any kind of concern
it landed delicately onto the floor
we all stood and wished for more
we all knew it wouldn't last but whilst it was happening we all stood enchanted by the magic
not a single word was uttered as we all hogged the space at the window ledge
to look up it looked messy
all confusing and everywhere
falling down from the heavens
a moment captured for Christmas
a moment of childhood
the pangs of youth filled the room
the stench of the missing was overwhelming
everyone in there own thoughts
contemplating, and planning
wishing and hoping and falling
falling with the flakes which brought with it hope
the pogues played on in the background, like the Christmas anthem
the lyrics stung as they hit my ears and hit my unconscious
swallow me up in this moment
wrap me up so tightly and don't let it go
preserve the silence
the honesty
the moment
the wanting to keep every second
