Ruts in Snow
Virginia Salter


ruts in snow

trail off in both directions

one, the memory of your coming

the anticipation

the joy

the other

the echo of your going

the sadness leading off into the black of night

carving into the pure white sheet

your path for remaining days

away, so far away

from the we once

together had

become

ONE

Thanks, ethome and Startime.  I have revised this, however; I'd sure appreciate your opinions on the revision.  It's posted also.

1st rendition or no .... it's wonderful VAS. Beautifully worded, and a lovely format to compliment your thoughts.

E-mail me and I'll see if I can help you though if you like.  

Best wishes,
