Snow whispers softly fly 'Pon rivers of icy breath... Time trickles silver-blue Speaking quietly of death... Frozen earth lays barren Like the meadows of my soul... Ghosts of sunshine weep While muted emptiness grows... Myriad dewdrops fill the sky And sleep with velvet night... Almost can I see your eyes Shimmering among their light... Yet Heaven gives no sign of you O'er this stretch of white... And alone among the pearled drifts I cry for you tonight... The snow whispers of my past And numbs me to the core... Lost within the clouds of ice My heart dreams nevermore... *Krista Knutson* "We are not seperate from spirit, we are in it." ~Plotinus~ |

Krista: This is a beautifully expressed poem, chilling and very sad to read. The last stanza just grabbed hold of me, I know all too well how it feels. Excellent piece as always Take care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly |

A beautiful, sorrowful poem.. "Myriad dewdrops fill the sky And sleep with velvet night... Almost can I see your eyes Shimmering among their light..." "The snow whispers of my past And numbs me to the core... Lost within the clouds of ice My heart dreams nevermore..." Now in my mind, those verses are ones that imprint themselves upon your soul, a capture of emotion, of life...

"Lost within the clouds of ice My heart dreams nevermore" Krista, this is a wonderful piece. I can relate to it extremely well... "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Your imagery is worthy of a canvas full of paint hanging in the louvre of life. I felt every tear you shed over this one. Great job. |

Brought a tear to my eye, this one is cold and sad and hauntingly beautiful at the same time. |
