First snow

Staring into the frosty distance...






Through the lonely window
the first snow glides through the blue
she closes her eyes...
the secret still there
stabbing at her heart.



She thinks she knows them

She lives in their world

yet she is lost


in her own...

madness.

obsession.

memory.













The first snow flurry glides to her cheek



She brushes it away and smiles
and remembers the love
The love she thought she had-
yet lost.



The trees turned from yellow to bare
yet the snow blankets them
its a white land of purity
... of light from above



She tugs at her scarf and wonders
Where is true love?
Is it reflected in this tumbling snow?
Or in the warmth of that hug?
Or in the gratitude she feels for Him-
who will never leave her?



She rebelled in her heart
She didnt want to stay in this life
Yet now she welcomes it
She welcomes the snow and the rain-
the heartache in between the seasons


She looks to the sky for an angel
to embrace her with one word...
I will never leave you He says...
As she knows all else will.
