Snow

I was plunged into flurry of snow flakes as I walked down the street. A young boy was walking towards me and when we crossed he suddenly turned to me and said 'I can't believe it is snowing.' I saw other children leaving school yelling, running and spinning like the swirling snow flakes. Hands open,tongues out and the word snow on everyones lips. The soft white clusters magically melted like cold kisses on my cheeks. I had to hold my hand over my eyes to see. For a minute the world was painted white and then a short while later it was gone. There was a chill in the air and the faint whispering of the wind saying softly winter is coming.
