Briefly, Between Heaven and Earth

Watch as lissom snowflakes rappel the air, From afar alike yet never the same, On sojourns quiet or with much fanfare, A passage lonesome or lit with love’s flame. Lasting place ‘tween clouds and plains none can claim, From the sky they came of low or high birth, In a heartbeat to melt into the earth.

Wow and Omg! Bernard, ok, let me calm down.. lol! :)) Let's start with the title first, of course - absolutely stunning (and essentially is another line which I love)! Next, your poem is superb. Your opening line sets the tone for a gorgeous write. Your ethereal imagery is masterfully done and is endearing and enchanting. Simply splendid dear poet. Warmest wishes my friend. ~Susan

You paint a lovely image with your poem, Bernard. And I love the choice of "rappelling"!!! (Are you a climber?)

Thanks a lot, Agnes. No, I'm not a climber. In fact, I pretty much only appreciate mountains' rugged beauty from afar :) I just like "rappel" :)
