Blanketed With Snow

The sun became a luminescent pearl
softly glowing behind thin gray clouds
in eclipse before crystal tears of snow
piled in drifts on Winter's frozen ground

White quilts cover bare branched trees
Tranquil has become the hush of night
I stare at logs crackling in the fireplace
remembering the things that used to be

A candle wick smothers in hot wax
like the flame in my heart that sputters
Frozen is the love that once was mine
beneath a blanket of snow over my heart

John Hamilton Date: 6/27/2020 12:25:00 PM Wonderful use of metaphors Jenna enjoyed this beautiful although sad write! Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 7/12/2020 4:21:00 AM Thank you, John. It is sad, but often it's the sadness in our hearts that makes life seem more beautiful and precious.

John Watt Date: 6/26/2020 11:30:00 AM A great write, Jenna, using the nature metaphors to portray sadness and loneliness, and the fire slowly dying to represent the demise of love. I really liked "a blanket of snow over my heart". Hope your day is blessed ~ John Login to Reply Jenna Logan Date: 7/12/2020 4:20:00 AM Thank you very much for your detailed review, John.
