The autumn leaf fell through the pale white sky, floating like a feather.
Her astonishingly deep blue eyes following its every move.
She wrapped her oversized cotton scarf around her neck and thought of the weather.
Thought of how the snow had managed to keep away for so long.
She looked down at the gravel she was walking upon and thought how did my life go so wrong.
She shook her head in dismay, this is my place my peace full place.

Then it came the snow she had longed for, the cold drops slowly tapping her face.
She turned her head up at the amazingly beautiful white sky, and slowly began twisting her fragile body round and round she smiled in delight, feeling as though she had run and won a race. The unsteadiness over ruled her body and soul and she sunk to the gravelled ground. She had lost the will to care anymore she sobbed and sobbed until there were no tears left.

It took all the strength she had to stagger to her tired feet, She continued her slow elegant walk along the path. She could hear some kind of music not far and suddenly she let out a laugh. For there stood a man, in a black t-shirt and a bright blue scarf. For my dear lady why do you laugh?, Her faint smirk turned into a grin.
How do you stand there and not be frozen?. She studied him well, he had dark brown eyes set upon a masculine face, with lips rosy red something she had never seen in a man before.

Just for a minuet she could not feel the pain all she could think about was this strange man who seemed to look at her as though she was the beautiful lest thing he had ever seen. He was standing in the snow playing a guitar and he sung my dear lady where have you been. A tear rolled down her pale white skin she had grown so tired and thin. He smiled the saddest smile and held out his hand, don’t you wish this snow beneath us was sand?, no I feel at home with the snow. And with that he slowly bent down and scooped up the fluffy white snow that had begun to settle and threw it in the air, she giggled and stated don’t we look a sorry pair.
