The First Snow Fall

~~ The First Snow Fall ~~ A Poem by Debbie_Philly The First Snowfall Watching the first snowfall in the quite of the night under the glow of the street lamp I am reminded of you. I was apprehensive about us at first scared even years of wrong choices kept you at arms lengths. You appeared out of no where whispering in my ear. I was comforted by your words feeling excited about the prospect of being young again. We were going places together that was promised I thrived on that,it didnt last long. Instead we slowed down like lazy snowflakes drifting apart. Why does the first snowfall remind me of you? It should remind me of childhood memories with cherished moments. I wanted that feeling again with you. I anticipated all of the joys in the pure white rain. Promises with the first snowfall bringing us to life at midnight. Under the glow of the street lamp laughing, playing, kissing snow angles and snowball fights. all of these things keeping us young and alive in each other. Hopes of being reborn with a friend withered like the melting slush that was once magic. Like love unattainable falling like old laughter in the still white night. Deborah Mills Kelly 1/22/12
