Snow song


*

Out there in solitude
me and the snow feel One.


Purity and perfection
on every snowflake’s
uniquely shaped lace.

Upon my tongue
like divine delicacies
the white clusters dissolve.

As if still a child I prance
in a merry-go-round
doing the fluffy dance.

Every step on the ground
stirs the spirit of snow
to release its joyful sounds.

Scrunching in delight
in duet with my soul
we sing the snow song.

Out there in solitude
me and the snow feel One
... with All there is.


Can you hear our song?
Nature speaks in many ways
to tell us where we belong.
*


thank you Alison for the inspiration:

I remember singing that song but there's no snow in So. Cal. Very pretty words.

Really nice. Can't feel romantic about snow though, it's horrible, really cold & causes traffic bedlam!

I love your exhuberant snow song at this time of year.  Snow is awesome just before Christmas, but by February, it's one more  blast to get cleaned off the walks and driveways, delaying spring's enterance.  Slush splashes up shiny cars and stains our boots and shoes as  excitement dwindles.

Thanks for your dance of thankfulness, reminding us of it's beauty once again.

Margherita,

I really like the lines:

“Scrunching in delight
in duet with my soul
we sing the snow song.”

It’s nice to know someone besides me likes snow.  Kinda.

I am especially fond of the photo.-imagery in this 'write' as well as:

"Purity and perfection
on every snowflake’s
uniquely shaped lace."

and:

"Can you hear our song?
Nature speaks in many ways
to tell us where we belong."

Applause!!

It's a joy to find so many of you in here with your loving comments. Thank you so much.
Yes, I remember, there are also negative aspects about the snow, no doubt! But I was focussing on its radiance, because I have truly wondrous memories which will forever be cherished.
love and joy

Oh, the joys of snow! I'm a regular little snow bunny! I love snow! ~ and that't a good thing because we are inundated with it!

"Nature speaks in many ways" ~ and you, dear poetess, lend your voice to Nature's beauty through your poetic words.

Love to you and to Mother Nature!

Margherita, my friend

This is absolutely wonderful.  I feel the same way!  I love snow, especially the fresh, fluffy, clean white drifts.  When I was little we made snow ice cream from that snow.  After, making angels, trails, and playing outside for hours.  

I love snow still - and I love this poem.

We are all lucky to have you among us - you are a very beautiful woman and friend.

Haven't seen enough snow in my life to pick up this kind of vibes...it is beautiful, I know by out-weighed by the cold, my friend...yet, anyway. Beautifully written though...

I can hear the sound LOUD and CLEAR! We have
more snow than we know what to do with.

However, I have acquiesced and allowed myself
to read your absolutely beautiful poem.

Thank you for sharing.  hugz, Marti
