Snow In Winter

The snow in winter
Drop softly
Like the petals of flowers
Rests on the ground
Or hillsides 
Like the mattress of God
Pure, silky and foamy

When wind blows
It floats like tiny balloons
Free from the hands of
Merry making children

On the leaves of trees
It lies like an innocent baby
Sleeping peacefully
In her mother’s lap

On the stones
It drops liked the
Lovelorn heart 
Of a lover
Whose beloved is far away
Leaving him to shiver
In the cold of ingratitude

On the lake it swims
Like the feelings 
Of a beloved in the memory
Of his long awaited lover
Freely in the air
