When Snow Came To Waltz
When Snow Came To Waltz
Like animated dancing silhouettes
Stilled in time—
Caged on all sides by the chilling whiteness,
We waited in frozen
Hope.
The sun had abandoned us, leaving
Only a faint reflection;
What could he do anyway? All
Is like a maximum security of nature
Lock down.
Struggling with itself, the human spirit
Grows—grows
Wearily weird with wanton wrath—
Warning unheeded.
Bending knees cringed
In once forgotten prayers—searching;
Howling winds and chilled waxed ears listened.
Void answers.
Whispering fires wane and beg with hunger; but
The wood cupboard has gone bare—and electricity?
She ran away and hid in the bitter dark!
As promised, blizzard waltz in and sat quietly.
With stoic patience, she waited to dance and go her way.
But our fuel dance cards had turned to cold ashes.
