Until the Melt Begins

The snow fell,
freezing my hope
to the branches,
—waiting for spring

The snow fell,
dropping its cold
reminder,
—onto feelings bare

The snow fell,
through its grayish white
shadow,
—an untrodden dawn

The snow fell,
leaving me buried inside
this moment,
—until the melt begins

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)

Another great piece, Kurt. Perhaps Melancholy in its expression, still enjoyable overall.
