Snow has lost its purity*

Snow has lost its purity*

Winter in January comes very cold

The winds bring the snow, its strength is bold

Swirling and twirling from a blinding sky

Frozen tears from above that continue to cry

Every snow flake that hits the ground

Adding more and more on top pushing each one down

It builds up to heights that no one can move through

To be stuck in one spot no place to go to

Yet warmer days come into presence

This allows what is on the ground into fluid essence

Then it hits a point that it cannot go no more

Decrements from before now have no score

As the days move on, the cold air comes back

Crunchy little stumps on the roads and railroad tracks

Once was so pure white, baptizing and covering so much

Now that was moments ago so long out of touch

So we see sooty looking white bumps, disgusting to say

If gray is not in the sky, the ground has it all day

Until warmer moments come once again

This will hang around in the cold which seems like it has no end
