'' You don’t see the beauty in a white crystal falling from the sky, right on the tip of your nose. It is as real as the frost biting your nails, but not as relevant. The winter entered your body before the city was covered in white. The sun comes out to play, but you don’t let the sunbeams touch you. You’re left speechless in a room of hungry wolfs. It’s like those nightmares where the sound doesn’t hit the air in front of your wide open mouth. You look down on your hands, they’re blue. A dark river is running in the never ending forest. Like an echo of the water hitting the rocks. The sorrowing sound is heard in the hallway outside your bedroom. A year went by and you wonder when winter will end. Seasons will always change, but the memory of a dark December morning wont.''
