--To understand the inspiration of this poem we need to take a step back into the perspective I frequently have of snow. I have major depressive disorder with seasonal variance – meaning I get worse in the winter. As such I frequently identify the falling snow building up as a cage forming around me. I was blessed with a year where my mental health didn’t dive deeper into the dark one winter and wanted to celebrate with a poem eliciting positive images of winter.
