FIRST PLACE

"Snowflakes are kisses from heaven."

                                      From writer _ Frida Kirkerge's, Book

I Breathe Snow

I breathe snow ... in the forest
where winter twilight is dense and full
        and the sky falls to a shadow
as trees and ground blend and mingle
             ebbing into vagueness  
    the path is wet beneath my feet
and little frills of ice adorn things
                  crystalline, frosty and filigree
then, suddenly the air is full of snowflakes
      enchanting and fragile
snow has come to be my beloved
                         and I am left breathless
with snow floating among the trees
                   as I feel a sweet touch
on my hair and on my cheeks
      with no sound except for a silent kiss
I stand still in snows loving embrace 
    in a frozen world quiet and tranquil
except for my beloved whispering snow
           drifting, floating, hovering
I whisper, I love you . . . 
                   but I know he will leave soon
and become but another memory lost

Hilda Greenhough November 17, 2024 at 5:44 PM I enjoy this verse. It has very lonely overtones. Fusing with snow seems to be a neutral escape from reality. Good luck with the contest.

Michael Tor November 16, 2024 at 5:14 AM Love this one Constance. Snow has a calming soothing affect on the soul magnified with its beauty of of majestic white floating down in droplets of parachuting armies of beauty and amazement. For a while and it leaves and is, "but a memory Lost." Conveying sadly all good things come to an end. Wonderful poetry by you today Constance. Thank you for sharing and a big Hug for you... Constance La France November 16, 2024 at 1:32 PM Michael, thank you for the lovely comment, and compliment. I was born in a snow storm and have always felt a fascination with snow falling, I do fin it so soothing ad beautiful, hugs, Constance
