Constance La France Poet Suzette Prime

All Snow Kissed

 
the falling snow today is soft and gentle
and my mind wanders sadly
to the place of tears 
and to tombs
snow kissed


love kissed
from my heart
for the journey long
brings me to my family
and so I travel there in my mind each day

there is not a day I do not think of you
oh a thousand times my dears
I weep for my loss
asking why
my God

the snow
keeps falling
like a veil of white
it drapes over my spirit
heavy with each new snowflake that falls on me

grief is part of life and it is a journey
we all experience and
we must accept so
we can live
our life

Constance La France January 5, 2021 at 10:23 AM Kim, thanks for visiting my poem, I do have an affinity with snow. I was born in a winter snowstorm, perhaps that is the reason. My dad used to tell the story about he almost had to deliver me in the car for my parents thought they would not make it to the hospital but they did and just in time _Constance
