Malabika Ray Choudhury Poet Lyric

In Snowflakes I Behold

Magnificent Willow stands in silent prayer, calm and composed,
So does the unruffled Evergreen, 
Stretching its arms in thankfulness, 
Decked with shimmering snow-pellets, 
Gleaming and glistening as the countless stars are, 
In the absolute darkness of the magnanimous cosmos,
Majestic jewellery adorned.
 
A tranquil, serene, noiseless night, 
Mesmerizing snow, falling uninterrupted, unhindered,
Envelop the entire universe around me. 
I glimpse a life of multi-coloured hues,
In every snowflake I behold, 
The inspiring dreams, the fervent hopes, 
the intense ebullience, the solitary woes - 
For ever crystallized.

James Inman June 25, 2020 at 9:12 AM I too love the silence of snow fall. I used to sit watching as the snow gathered, softening all of the sharp edges across the world and wonder as it became more and more silent. Enjoyed your poem.
