frozen rain

They are drifting down like dreams these snow speckled clouds veiling the star pointed sky, and we spoke over salad and lemonade-tinted water wishing we were wading through the clear, calm waters and black sand of an exotic beach. We were hoping to find something tonight, and we did as the snow clouds grew furious over our little world. We grew small in this big place. This frozen rain. This wind-bent world. This night.
