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.
