Snow Softly Falls

I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? 
                    ~Lewis Carroll

The snow softly falls and I am alone
again and I cannot atone
for words I spoke in sullen haste
or for time’s sad begotten waste,
into cold winter I am thrown 

into a fantasy, I find my home
and weave a tapestry where you are known
to love me in this imagined place,
while the endless snow softly falls

bitterly around me as I taste
the foolish dreams I longed to chase
into the brutal cold are blown
as they lay me underneath eternal stone~
at last my nameless fears are faced
as the snow continues to softly fall.
