I see a lot of me in the snow |

I see a lot of me in the snow. Everyone thinks you're beautiful, such a rare sight to behold. They think you're lovely, pure and deep, but they wish you weren't so cold. You appear with no warning at all and then suddenly you move on. They criticize you while you're here and then they miss you when you're gone. Time and again man will come with hands of blazing fire. He'll think to warm your icy nature with a taste of mortal desire. They presume to know your weaknesses. They try to bring you to your knees, but you have the power of an avalanche. You're as elusive as the breeze. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

Wonderful piece; It flows perfectly and the words couldn't have been chosen better. Wouldn't it be great if people didn't have to prey on another soul to hide their own insecurities. As for me, I'll take you as you are and look forward to reading more of creations. |

Tennessee, this is very cleverly done. I love it! You created a perfect simile between the two. Boy, I just love it when I see people use their brains and come up with such clever ideas. Consider me a fan |

kaile -- Once again you have been too kind with your response. I am so glad that you caught the importance of the title. I originally wrote this piece without a title and found that, while I knew what I was speaking of, no one else probably would. Sometimes it is more interesting to leave the reader to their own interpretations, but on this one I had a clear message I wanted to convey. Thank you for such interest in my work! Marge -- Thank you so much for you nice response. Imagery is not something I'm very good at so your comments mean a lot. Lorraine & Redheart -- Thank you muchly for your kind responses. Balladeer -- You, a fan of lil' ol' me!?! Now that is a compliment and a half and this southern belle appreciates it greatly!! --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |
