The snow whitens my eyelashes like
a cool border around a memoir.
Eyes closed,
my outer shell
takes it all in
speaking,
I have forgiven you for
being less than I wanted.
My muse celebrates a winters breeze
sedating the old haunting abysmal of,
my
  I
    remember you.
The motionless landscape then turns the air,
"Where will you go now?"
My path is marked by hope,
heavily plowed by rain
I will walk where the snow falls.

~Best Regards,Raven Smith

I quite enjoyed that but then again I'm easy to please.

Some of it is quite delicate and I like that.  

I just wonder about who or what your muse is and I wish I had one.

Great work.

What a wonderful opening. I thought this was a concise,well written piece. I don't know about the overall message. Good start though.
