"Cold and Quiet" by Delilah Wurth

Cold and Quiet

The world is cold and quiet 

Not the scary quiet that leaves a ringing in my ears

But the type of quiet that gives me hope for something more 

I see my breath as it leaves my body 

As a reminder that heat is still possible 

Even in a blizzard 

The stars look prettier on a cold and dark night 

They are scattered across the sky 

Like freckles on our skin

It should be no surprise that our bodies mimic the world 

When that is exactly what we are 

Creations of nature

-Delilah Wurth, sophomore
