-------------------------Standing Out in the white earth blanket Smoking Red wine can't feel the icy air Across the road A tiny glimmer lies Just a twinkle on the ground Frozen in time A snowflake catches my eye I stare at it Intently As if some answer lies there A light A sparkling glimpse of life drives past homeward bound? Into the night to some destination It's cold distraction cannot dim the twinkle of one flake A light The glow from a bedroom window of that white farm house with it's massive red barn My eyes dart to the trees Their branches heavy weighed down with snow like the death of something ...just hibernation Nature taking a break from creation That reflection still bright from one snowflake If I move toward it it will vanish forever I tilt my head Right with a grin of appreciation A silent laugh of adoration The spindly fingers of life Grasping at the stars Directing them lovingly Like the guiding hand behind children Exhale Never losing sight of that one particle The eerie sound of winter music The wind blowing sharply through the branches The inaudible fall of snow from the sky I know when I leave it The spark will dissapear buried beneath the chill of millions ...but it's simple smile That tiny silver wink will live in me even when spring comes and melts this blanket Into mud...

Ghani, just wanted to say I honestly LOVE this poem, and am still thinking about it days after i first read it! The reason Im bringing this thread up again was becuase I had a dream last night, and I think it was inspired by this poem! I do not remember much about it though except that it was snowy and dark and the feeling was similar to the mood in your poem. Just wanted you to know! Ta IP: Logged |
