Winter night

Fire crackling,
cold winter breeze,
the warmth of the fire warms my hands.
I look up at the full moon so bright and beautiful, as the stars shine like a million diamonds in the sky.
I feel as light as a feather. I could close my eyes and drift off into space and forget about reality for a moment.
I could stay here forever.
I realise I have to go back.
But what if life could be so easy and as light as a feather.
I'm back.
I begin to collect firewood, it's cold outside but dark and peaceful.
i see a snail slowly crawling across a log.
It leaves a shiny, sparkling trail.
Mum calls.
Time for bed.
