5 Senses poem

All around you,
Waves crash, snow crunches
Noses sniffle after deep, heavy breathing
Your ears are filled with the slight murmur of people talking
A geese squawks in the distance as you slowly open your eyes
Your eyes water and blink in the new sunlight
You walk in between the bare trees in the sparkling snow
You take a deep breath and see the smoke come out of your mouth just as a rabbit runs by
Out on the frozen lake the icebergs bobble in the water like ice cubes in a glass
And tilt your head up to the sun to fend off the piercing cold that bites around you
You start moving on the spot and realize a wet feeling in your boots and a whiff of that wet, damp smell
You take one last breathe and taste the winter fresh air
Its quiet; at last
