05 march 02008 snapshot poem

the moon is a sliver of silver
be still, you tell me
i sit

snow comes
thick, soft, glittery
i cannot catch it

it catches me
it grows around me
a pale and quiet burial

this is the only moment
snow comes
i am a stillness in the snow

i am
this darkness in the white world
i am sitting still

sparrows in the snow
sun comes, snow goes
i sit

What a beautiful day it was today. Everything covered by a thick white blanket of snow this morning. Your poem captures that special feeling and quietness.

There's something very restful in this piece. It's not wise to fight the snow! I enjoyed this poem a great deal - it has much to offer a reader. Visual and vibrant in an easy manner.
