A Warm Winter Glow

I inhaled the bitter cold air into my lungs.
I exhaled slowly and watched,
as the warm air of my breath became a white cloud before me.
I felt my nose getting cold.
I breathed on my cotton white gloves to warm my hands.
Squinting as I looked at the bright new coat of frost that blanketed the earth.
Frozen tree limbs…Snow covered bushes and hills…
The sounds of little icicles hitting each other.
A soft smile came over my face and I turned and looked at you.
I swiftly held your hand to seize the moment before it got away.
You smiled back and I knew
I'l forever be in your warm embrace :)
