In Your Eyes

I saw it in your eyes, a snapshot of a frozen memory

The small fractals, delicate and small, designed so cleverly 

We saw them fall, white glitter, blanketing the world

And the air, so light yet so frigid, around us it swirled 

The moonlight brightened the land, a pure white kiss

One moment we stood, touching the snow, in perfect bliss

Even in the dark, there was a glow from the pearl white clouds

My arms outstretched, smiling at the snow which enshrouds

Us from the rest of the world, holding us within it’s trance

The wind carried the snow with grace, slowly, much like a dance

The lights around us were Scattered and spotted amongst the velvet night

But Did you see what I saw? Hidden within the soft light?

I saw magic, springing from our hearts and up into the sky.

But I never understood the fascination, all I could ask was why

but standing here, falling in love with the iridescent snow 

Feeling it touch my skin, shocking my nerves, I finally know

Because I saw your eyes, around the frozen ground they roam

I think somewhere, in the magic of the snow, it reminded you of home

You were fond of what floated from the worlds above

And once again, I saw it in your eyes, an intrinsic love
