A pom for you guys,hope you like.
It's entitled......

The Snow Fall.



Snowflakes fall
with a whispering sigh
thru a lacework
of branches
woven
across a slate grey sky.

Like fragments
of poetry
random thoughts
or fading memories
that tickle the edge
of consciousness.

Some
falling to a stream
will merge with the dark waters
flowing within
yet never stand alone.

Others swirl dance
rise and fall on a rippling breeze
coming to rest
miles from their inception.

Like an unfinished stanza
written long ago
some will alight on the rosy cheek
of a child as a mothers kiss will
and only be recalled in adulthood
as a pleasant memory.

Others though
fall as a blizzard
but melt too fast
and overflow the dam within.

Some may survive
as a poem a story an essay perhaps
or a novel.

We live and breathe through one season only
one human life.
A single finite memory
crafted as we please.

Depicted like a painting of a snowfall
on a rocky hillside
meant for others to enjoy.

While only we and we alone
can navigate the stony battlements
of the ground which lies beneath.
 
oh, welcome! lovely images.

i especially enjoy the way each verse leaves me with an overall image but a singular phrase, i.e:

snowflakes fall
like fragments of poetry
some falling to a stream
others swirl and dance
an unfinished stanza
others, though, fall as a blizzard

Some may survive
as a poem a story an essay a novel


We live and breathe through one season only
Depicted like a painting of a snowfall
While only we can navigate
the stony battlements
