Ivory Snow

( Ivory Snow) Settled by the fire in the warm glow of night a chill exists outside these walls brush away the flowing drapes looking out my mind escapes revealing a warm distant glow that is cold instead the lights clone what you feel a vision of temperature it does steal but you are aware that it is not real but look closer a scattered snowflake falls then another and another more snowflakes fall and ice the wall they float by sailing in slow motion in the blistering air each one different not a pair each snowflake gathers in unity each has its place they fall one by one with such elegance and grace yet few are there only for a short time then are gone without a trace ivory snow is formed throughout the night each snowflake expands and stick together tight once the joys are had the ivory snow melts away it has lived its reason and now has ceased to be the pleading cracked frozen ground have soaked up all the liquid formed a change has occurred the earth has now transformed as it stored and used all of what it needs the process starts all over in the time of its plead earth only wants what it truly needs earth has not a sense of greed.
