Old man winter touched my nose (for anyone that loves snow)

Awake again to cloudy morning
alarm clock rings of my dismay
every second seems forewarning
another bitter autumn day.
Asleep and stumbling out the door
I smile as my spirit grows.
Body warms right to the core
old man winter touched my nose.
Crossed eyed and curious I stare
at the marvel upon my face
the perfection lying there
with hopes to save me from this place.
A snow flake white with purity
offers to leave the past behind
as had the leaves fallen so quickly
so did the troubles from my mind.
No more responsibilities
for here my youth has overcome
I glow with possibilities
cold and yet comfortably numb.
A horn awakes me from my dreaming
I run with haste to catch my ride
The child within my body screaming
anxiety forced to subside.
The day drags on it seems forever
outside the window nature does mock
I plan a secret snow endeavor
stopping only to watch the clock.
Eternity soon came and went
And I now glowing head to toe
run for the presents god has sent
to lose my self amongst the snow.

Kevin,
This was beautiful. It brought a warm smile. I loved the imagery and feel to this poem. I too, love the freshly, fallen snow.

cross eyed sounds right to me.
