We’re waiting,
Bodies grown cold as the ground,
Frost coat white
In the night,
Slow at decomposing found;
We’re waiting.

Sprinkle the white,
Powered lime on icy frost,
Long laying,
Old slaying,
Days since the spirit was lost,

Lime us white,
Send us to dust in the ground.

Gloom 2000

I think it's fine right where it is, when I think of snow, I think of an immaculate blessing, no matter how dark the night is.

"When red-haired girls scamper like roses
over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

Thank you, Irish Rose,
Glad you liked it here,
I wrote it in response to a poem already posted here
At Open #10, or just a part of a line actually.
