Challenge #1, a poem

[kmorgan]

I think it will be winter when he comes.
From the unbearable whiteness of the road
a dot will emerge, so black that eyes will blur,
and it will be approaching for a long, long time,
making his absence commensurate with his coming,
and for a long, long time it will remain a dot.
A speck of dust? A burning in the eye? And snow,
there will be nothing else but snow,
and for a long, long while there will be nothing,
and he will pull away the snowy curtain,
he will acquire size and three dimensions,
he will keep coming closer, closer . . .
This is the limit, he cannot get closer. But he keeps approaching,
now too vast to measure . . .

Are we supposed to match that poem, or are we supposed to come up with a different poem and a picture that matches it?

And snow,
there will be nothing else but snow,

Yea, this is going to be a tough line to capture from the beach in Hawaii.

Try to come up with something that captures the feeling engendered by the poem. It doesn't have to be snow, per se (I figured that on this site snow would be a popular topic). You can also start independent challenges like, "Mountains", "Long Exposures", "Moonlit", etc.

That line of the poem reminded me of this day.
