Poem

I caught you, my little flake of snow,
Although your hands were not meant
To be captured…
Mountains wanted to be free 
Of their shape,
The plains oozed from
Under our words…

I caught you and now
Made you my lover…
The wolves sing
With your sorrowed voice,
The sun’s battling 
For another day
While you snow over my brow…

And then I took you home
With me…
Such a lovely poem to meet,
Caught in your avalanche
This time…
And the fire started howling…

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
