Poem that I said I'd post

here is the (bad) poem that I composed one day when I was struggling to stay focused on a paper that was due. It was probably Jan or Feb because it was snowing and cold.

the sun retreats behind a veil of grey
mists, its light diffused a thousand times
by falling prisms. Tiny shards of glass
that connect earth and sky. Behind a
screen of white shadows and silhouettes
float without direction. Boundless in their
realm, flirting with immortal bodies lost in
the waters of time, tossed in crashing waves
of a northern sand sea, light, cast adrift in
the currents of the wind. A graceful
dance to the oppressive sound of silence.
