First Snow Of The Season

The campus blanketed in white and silence.

That was the sight which greeted me when I left the library after after working on my IT project. I know it does snow occasionally in Vancouver amongst the rain, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

I didn't know which surprised me more as I breached the door into a world that has changed; the abrupt serenity of the Earth relentlessly forcing its deaf silence upon those who roam its white expanse, or the sudden loudness of my thoughts finding themselves desperately trying to assert their presence lest they become muted.

I walked home quietly struggling.


Those who roam the snowy night in front of Koerner Library.
