It was the first time I had ever seen the snow
I sat in my room and watched the layers grow
It frosted the earth with a blanket of diamond dust
And turned water to ice that formed a thick crust.
The dim light reflected and glared in my eyes
But I continued to look, kept my eye on the prize.
I'd never heard of, felt nor seen it before
So I put on my shoes and went out the door
The most radiant of flakes fell on my nose
And I felt a chill from my head to my toes.
A part of me knew I should turn back inside
But wonder and awe made me push that aside.
In the dawn glow I began to run
Seeing new sights, never had so much fun
But when I began to feel cold I regretted I'd come
Then the fear came when I began to feel numb.
I staggered around, wanting my home
But stopped abruptly for no footprints were shown.
My surprise and glee had made me distracted
Did not notice the snow as it changed and acted
Became treacherous, deceitful and led me astray
Somewhere unknown with no place to stay.
I stood in a clearing, afraid and alone
Wishing desperately for a way home to be known.
I called out despairingly for anyone around
Wanting to be rescued, wanting to be found
Tired and frozen I lay down in the snow
And watched the small birds flit to and fro.
One by one my senses faded
Never before had I felt so jaded.
I closed my eyes, thinking of home
And let the snow cover me with a crystal dome.

- i liked it i love the way the first half you think its her being happy with the snow and her curiousity.and then its gets to her seeing that its dangerous and evil and how something can look like its good and actually be bad. very brillant again alison. i think its one of your best.although i think the title should be something different too simple and a bit boring for my liking,you could call it good? cause its evil but looks good. other than that i really did like it
