Notes About The Poem

Voices Softly Whispered

Snowflakes blanketed the world in winter white

Tenderly, they touched my impeded ears

Unlocked were the passageways to discern voices

Virtuously,  they repeated in soft whispers,

"Wisdom is to be absorbed like flakes of snow on skin."

Wonderfully soulful poem, Lin. The wisdom imparted in the last line is worth its weight in ink gold. Excellent thought imagery. Luminescent poetry. Love and joy always.

Thank you very much, Paul. Looks like we all made 'the list,' although it doesn't quite meet the requirements of being called a winner, considering the outcome.
