Jonas

In the snow the long lost child
A blink at once bold dreams now mild. 
Fading flickers struggling to survive    
To capture, stoke and keep alive.   

Mighty enough to close the local bars
The tiny frozen falling stars 
Create a magic carpet ride 
I might take off or stay beneath to hide. 

Or angel feathers blanketing the world  
A time-machine of sorts unfurled. 
Woven into the downy dust
Only in this crystalline god I trust 

Like leavened manna from above
The stinging crumbs of long lost love 
And hope yet in these dwindling years 
Descends in nature's lacy tears.
