The Arrival of Princess Snow

There's always something fresh and new going on each day. Today's honour goes to the Princess of Winter - Snow. As the temperature fell below zero, the droplets of water crystallized into flakes of snow, falling, making a soft landing onto earth as if controlled by the hands of a gentle pilot.

I was out on the campus and found myself in a mixture of wind and cold, with white flurries filling the spaces between heaven and earth. Despite the chill in the air, the campus is busier, warmer than usual, marked by McGillers finishing off their nth midterm that they over-studied for... cheers and laughters, filled the spaces between the snow flakes.

Oh that purity and comeliness of princess snow; watch her, and lose yourself in her beauty, her elegance, her charm. Arrogantly, she laughs upon the praises, and slowly retreats back to her heavenly palace.

Tomorrow,
the green leaves will turn a bit yellower, the golden leaves will turn a bit dryer, the dry leaves will turn a bit crispier, then, like snow, they'll melt and disappear...because of her.
