Memoirs of Snow

Racing, tumbling,
landing in a heap,
falling out
of pretenses
with you.

On the snow mountains
I laugh, thinking of your friendship.

Glittering dancers
waltz across your cheeks;
sighing in
the moonlight,
they die.

Under the flurries
I blush, thinking of your beauty.

Burning rejection
crashes on my face;
drowning in
the memory
of you.

In freezing blizzards
I grieve, thinking of your discharge.

Finding, forgiving
that last too hard knock;
kind smiles on
frosty faces
return.

In silent stillness
We love, thinking of our snow.
