The Touch of Snow

As snowflakes fall, the music fades
to unknown feelings sweeping over me.
The wet of tears, rests on my lips.
The taste of salt is on my tongue
as I catch the two mixing,
the skies happiness
and my own sad thoughts of loneliness,
on this beautiful winter morning.

For each step taken, one is left behind,
remembering those walks,
warmth of you, hand in hand.

Glistening cold under soft gray skies,
each flake falling, spiraling
landing upon the ground,
covering the old with new.

Snow tears freezing, drying
upon cheeks stained in red,
the cold of hurt.

Feeling the kisses each one gives,
the wet mounting, relieving the numb,
the ballet movements falling from air,
as twist and twirl they land
the touch of snow and memories,
upon my face.

Hey Maureen!
This is very pretty! Nice images, soft and sensual as you can write so well!
You should check out Sunshine's latest poem this morning it's really pretty like this one.

Nice work! It's good to read your work again!

Well written Wynter. The snow has just left a light dusting so far this am, waiting for the rest of it to get here. I know a little girl who is just waiting to go play......lol......lying.....I know to of us who are ready to go play!! Good to see your words again.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Wynter,
And as the snow refreshes the winter scene so your tears are refreshing the beauty of you. You just keep getting better and I like that.

This poem is so sad, Wynter...but it is also extremely beautiful.

I love the snow, but hate driving in it.

Nicely done, M!
Especially liked the line:
"For each step taken, one is left behind,"
(so little snow here this year . . . not enough for these quiet walks. I find a comfort in them.)

Krawdad...one of my greatest memories and all time favorite activities is walking in this small town around midnight, when the snow is freshly on the ground and it's still falling gently, so peaceful...for some reason I feel wrapped in warmth then. Thank you for the visit and words *s
