Silent Storm Seduction
She laces this dark late winter's evening
with white manna grace,
flowing flying frosting
folding in and over and around
dark naked tree limbs
dress up and out
under icey liminal networks
of down and in-flowing rivers,
empty onto cold cover
of frozen lace-flake sea,
hovers over what had been our pedestrian front lawn,
now transforming and mesmerizing
diastatic ice crystals
twinkle in response
as their ice-fire children
follow in post solstice pilgrim path
to die their individuality
within this here-now view.
I smile, perhaps flirtatiously,
with this shy winter's virgin dream,
a stubborn storm of snow softly settling
quieter than white-noise still quietly,
so so civilly, right,
a silent black and white moving set
frames a wonderful life.
She is not smiling back
but I feel her cold embrace
teasing tickling of too-perfect beauty,
hope imagining she could sleep within this heavenly blanket
dream down her winter's rain
of deep composting thirst,
drink through walls of hibernation
brewing spring's warmest winding offer.
This could go on all night
this reverse stalk
and inside window peeper out
across front and back porches
at Gaia's grace elational transfiguration,
silent ecodrama major
shows off her magic show
for those with ears to see through silent
first snow of momentous perennial occasion
falling just in time
to brighten renewal day for dreams
of Beloved black with white Communities
through this silent storm of love.
Impossible to ever be the same again.
Unlikely to become unlover.
Such elegant purgation grace!
I would dishonor her
to not sleep within our silent storming space.
