Snowflakes

Too late

to turn back from the flurry

of painted snowflakes

on a gossamer wind.

In a

whirlwind they spin

up and upwards

to the timeless lands.

Frozen

specks of crystal;

perfect and unimaginable

melt on my face.

Shadows

fall and they turn

grey and the painter leaves

his canvas unfinished.

A soft

white sea has emerged

below my feet

and immersed the world in white.

Foamy

to wade through and yet

impossible to resist

spoiling the untouched.

Then sun

arrives, and he brings warmth

and light, and so

the sky’s daughters melt in all

their sweet virginity

and the ground is rendered wet

once more.
