Winter Washed wax impressions of the heart left upon a table top etched into the grains of wood the colors blend and bleed forever sealed, by the heat of her hand passing over each memory subtle visions become a partner in her reflective dance filling lonely hours... turned to days trembling hands brush aside the winter washed hair from her still sparkling blue eyes and then straighten the freshly pressed dress across her knees hoping today they will come and add another color to the waltz before her music fades "...I am a river in winter, quiet in the eyes of most but deep, swift and full of life to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice. |

Oh, Snow~ I got the impression so clearly of an elderly woman waiting for the family that doesn't come. My heart aches at this poignant piece. If only ... if only ... Oh, God .. how this grabbed me. I appreciate your feelings here. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Snow--The feel of this poem is so delicate and lace filled...beautifully carved and placed on paper with tenderness...just beauiful! |
