The Snow

Falling at a terminal velocity From the ether we fall at a speed that is Slow What is my purpose, my destiny Inevitable fate befalls the Snow Colliding with the other frosty white souls Scattered across the ground sparkling like bright white Gold We're born in a season that is dead How can something so white and pure be Cold Like vampires the sun is our infirmity Dawn approaches illuminating hues of Wry The epiphany before my death Is everything is impermanent Why

I really like this and have written on death themes many times. The older we get, the more it occurs to us to use it in our poems, Sadly!!!

I'm really glad you liked it! I think death is always on our minds because there's for sure one thing that will happen to all of us, and that's death.

This current dead season we are in can't come to an end soon enough for me. We have been blessed with temperatures as high as 20c for the past few days, but it hasn't melted all the snow. Another interesting write.

I know I can't wait for spring! 20c that's about 65f isn't it, and I assume you must be from the UK. Thanks for the wonderful comment!
