Starry Night


When it snows
The sky is shrouded
By a veil of clouds and ice
And stars you wont see
at midnight

I wonder
If the snow is pure
Would it bury me so deep
That no one would see
Were I was

If I too
Was just like the stars
Fixed upon the midnight sky
And no one would know
The real me

My earliest imaginings of hell were of being condemned to wander alone in siberia.  I think i saw it on a movie and it terrified me.  I still have nightmares of being the only person in the world with no shelter in a terrible snow storm.  

This poem will be my prayer if that day ever comes to pass.  

One question, no biggie.  Why does the snow have to be pure to bury you?  It almost sounds like a drug-reference at that point.

"why does the snow have to be so pure"

pure=perfect
perfect doesn't exist-> perfect/ pure things are a lie

I should have interpreted this better in the poem.  my bad.
