Hibernation

I need the snow to keep falling,

To cover my fears and anxieties

In a white blanket.

To freeze it all, 

So nothing changes

Until our spring arrives.

I need to keep sleeping,

To keep hibernating,

To keep dreaming.

Once I found myself standing in the snow while praying for rain.

Now I beg for the harshest winter

Not to numb the pain,

But to keep everything in tact,

To stay the same.

To allow a season of rest

So that we may once again grow.

So keep falling,

Keep falling,

Keep falling in love, dear snow.
