Snow Warrior

As white flakes 
  hurtle down 
from the sky 
  A warrior rises 
from the ground 
  Made of snow 
he walks gingerly 
  down the road 
We see him with 
   mixed emotions 
Since fear mixed with 
   amazement and joy 
The Snow Warrior 
  visits our time
and "belongs to eternity"
His joy is our joy 
His fear is our fear 
Winter brings out the best in may 
And brings the Snow Warrior 
a being we cannot 
   do without
