snowfall

have you ever noticed what happens
when the snow falls?
it erases all the sounds
as if the universe were some sort of vacuum...
it creates peace, brings consolation,
calms down everything hectic,
everything that has bothered you;
it eliminates all the bitter reproaches
ever thrown right in the face of someone -

someone who hurt you really bad
someone once dear to you
someone you definitely used to cherish -

right in the middle of your very last fight:

"I wish you weren't here"
"I wish I have never trusted you"
"Get out of my life"

...and you are hurrying home,
a handfull of snowflakes,
tiny butterflies soaring
all over your face,
all over your cheeks
getting into your eyes...
and you suddenly realize:
your smile is back,
you are back to life.

and you are hurrying home
knowing you are gonna get
yourself a mug of something
tasteful and so comforting
that cures you as well as this snow does:

some hot wine or maybe some chicken broth
or maybe both.
