White Tears

It’s snowing like rain.
Flakes so big
they nourish dryness
as I stand mouth open
asking the sky
why are you crying?

The snowfall
is like rush hour.
Flakes swerving in and out
determined to find
either a cold place to melt
or a child’s smiling face
as she imagines
her glorious snowman
while humming the tune.

The child is taken
to a hot chocolate den.
I see her in the windowsill
by a lit candle.
She’s blowing
her pool of cocoa
round and round.
Frustrated, and with two hands
she sets it by the candle,
put her elbows on the sill,
and watches rush hour.

Someday down the road
like this raining snow
she’ll weave through the traffic
hoping her destination
will be her child’s warm face
watching the sky cry.

Very nice. I enjoyed.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run ahead to catch it.

(smiles) Oh Elizabeth, I love this, sweet friend, and I know with all my heart as long as she follows her heart she will find all the warmth and delight along the road out of the snowstorm! (kiss on cheek) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
