YUKI: A Masterpiece

In silent descent, Yuki claims the air,
A fragile hymn no mortal hand can keep;
Each crystal breath, a prayer too pure to bear,
That falls like dreams the waking cannot reap.

The sky, in grief, lets go its hidden light,
And scatters truth in fragments cold and white;
Each flake, a whisper from forgotten years,
A trace of time dissolved in frozen tears.

What art is this that lives only to die?
A fleeting grace no warmth can reconcile;
It crowns the earth, yet fades without a cry,
Leaving no proof but memory’s soft exile.

So beauty blooms where loss and stillness meet,
And vanishes, yet leaves the soul complete.

I’m not sure if this is an Ekphrasis, or about another form of art, Akinola, though you’ve captured imagery beautifully in this sonnet. This poem feels strong, yet delicate with salutes woven into words, very like a Shakespearean poem. Your summation lines are exquisite. Keep writing & being an inspiration. Sending blessings., Ghairo
