Dear Snow

Dear Snow I know that you are cold But I also know that you are happy I know that your flakes Are your different moods I know that your fall Is your way of being You remind me of me. Dear Snow Do not fuse the lights on the trees Because they are for beauty They are to guide the people On dark December nights When they feel lonely and astray The man who was cycling at midnight I wished I could shout 'Let go!... Let go my friend! For the handles restrict you! Find the alleys that lead you to the mountain top! Find the trees that guide you to the stars! For they are alit with the roadmap to the northern star!' Alas! I didn't... Dear Snow Don't fog my glasses But you can fog my brain with your touch Your gentle kisses on my forehead And do melt on my tongue Because you taste of liberty! Joyous carols are clichés It is snow on a moonlit night And stars on trees That make this festival A celebration of life! Happy ... happy Snow! Happy new days...
