Tony Bush Poet Verse

And the Snow Fell

And the snow fell in a flurry, 
White powder from a compact sky 
Dusted down the avenues 
Where I was seen to hurry 
With a world in winter passing by. 

And the snow fell, crackled freezing 
On eyelashes with a kiss of ice, 
White-out on the cobblestones, 
The wind was shrill and breezing 
Sweet and sharp as sugared mice. 

And the snow fell with a whisper, 
Mounting drifts upon the road and wall, 
Strangling the narrow paths, 
My footfalls sounding crisper 
In their haste to navigate it all.

And the snow fell with a violence 
As I breached the empty meeting place, 
Spectral footprints filling up 
And all was boundless silence 
You were gone without a trace.
