"I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A dog might as well speculate on the mind of Newton. Let each man hope and believe what he can."- Charles Darwin

Skin tightens from ice
Winds brushes her hair back
Tear drops fall crystalizing on her cheek
Underneath layers she burns up
But freezes simultaneously
No hand to help her up
No voice to raise her lips
She sits alone in the snow bank
Huddled up hoping for only one thing
Dreading only one thing
Feeling the pain of first love
She lets the snow fall from her eyes
