The snow is pretty
still falling, he scribes a note of love
upon the waiting windshield

very soon the ink of white
dissipates, that which wore the
arrow's ink, now cleared
by the late day sun

but etched within the heart
that viewed the artist's moment

is a ring and a reminder

of all that's free and falling
beyond the frozen moment

and now cradled and protected
deep along a lifetime
in sweet memory to rewind

Ah, those "sweet memories" beckon to one and all, eh . . . .

Dear EmmaRose, it's so nice to see you back here! You also added a most lovely new photo. I really enjoyed your enchanting poem. Snow has inspired you deeply!

You have been greatly missed!

Now that is good poetry!

The whole poem is excellent, but that is my favorite stanza.
