Poet Tellaferro Poet Free verse

In the Silence of Snow

In the silence of snow
The great towers of silver
Dully reach skyward, glow

Languish on the darkening 
Horizon like winter storms 
Silent spires rise into a sky, darkly

Were sharp thorns of branches sway
As shades pass like angry swarms
Haunting ghostly streets

Blanketed, by pure white snow 
Only marked by singular cars passing 
Lonely is a figure, drifting in and out, to and fro

It struggles in a blizzard of silence
Freezing fingers of slicing wind, blow
In its black cloak of ice it watches, 

Loss in the city of aftermath 
A figure pushes on, full of wrath, loss n sorrow
Looking for a place in the silence of snow 

Something longs for rest n warmth of the known
