Breathless

Breathless
hearts racing
body heat
perspiration
sidewalks
tend to grow
upon arrival
of the second
snow
wind drifts

hide forgotten
toys not
brought inside
hidden now

beneath
mountainous
reminders
of balmy days
and butterflies

I love these especially... maybe because thats exactly what I see as I gaze out at the snow and ice piled up outside. :)
