Nice poem, like a long haiku. It was easy to picture your words, with lots of depth to think about once the words are read and said. The snow as sky's pillow is a marvelous metaphor, and the spring swallowing the air makes for a superb ending.

The scenes the poet applies are familiar for everyone. In my opinion, he is a master of using ordinary subjects to create a great picture in his reader's mind.

Easy to picture, but hard to grasp. Such an attitude to what could be read as despair!
