A Life of Frost (or How I learned to stop worrying and love the fleeting cold)

I've outwalked the furthest city light,
and stopped by woods on a snowy eve.
I've taken the road less travelled once,
and gone home when I could not leave.

By fearful women I've been traduced,
and bags of leaves I've left unfilled.
Consumed by fire and by ice I've been,
and wondered of prayer wheels stilled.

I'm not much more than a refugee
who's misplaced his books of poetry.
Memories temporarily lost,
but I have lived a life of Frost.

Dear Mark, this is very beautiful. A life of poetry is a life of art.

Makes me curious about the Poet Frost, whom I don't know well.

Love,
Margherita
