- Swans Or Snowflakes -

Soft and sensitive they fall Is it beautiful white swans with fluffy white feathers light Tickles on the nose A moment poignant and beautiful that it is impossible to remain unmoved The whole sky full Millions of snowflakes they fall softly no sound Silence ... hold your breath They melt in my hands So similar, but so different It falls millions of snowflakes and the earth is colored white 05.12.2014 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved
