Picture by Camille Mohsenin, 7th grade. Taken on the MS field trip in La Cerdanya.

Cold

I lay in the snow

it is bitter and cold

Hail lashes against my face

my skin is on fire, but it

is too cold to be on

fire.

my fingers are numb

my limbs remain lifeless under the snow.

I see teriffying white flakes floating towards me.

The wind takes my breath away.

It takes me to a new place, a better place, a place of peace and harmony.
