The softness of the snow tonight
Perpetuates a song too deep
Making known its vehemence to be written
Freed into the cold white air, and wrung
Turned until the millionth tear has dried
Dusting my memory with sensations so far away
No, it is not pain, once numbed in an empty wind
Nor would I wake it, to be longing
Pachabels loops lightly in the background
Silently staring, in harmony to the drifts
Holding myself warm in waiting
The night sky is stark and noble
As I light linen candles and remember

This really is very good:

"Holding myself warm in waiting
The night sky is stark and noble
As I light linen candles and remember"

Yes, lovely write.  I particularly like

"No, it is not pain, once numbed in an empty wind
Nor would I wake it, to be longing"

Grand potpourri of images here!:

Song freed into cold white air;

Memory dusted with far away sensations;

Pachabel’s  drifting harmony;

Stark and noble Wintry night skies;

Remebrances  by candlelight;

etc.

Applause!!
