Best Seasonsdance Poems
I caught a snowflake on my tongue,
falling from the clouded gray sky.
Another hit my lash; it clung,
then added a tear to my eye.
Falling from the clouded gray sky,
dancing upon a frigid breeze.
Then added a tear to my eye,
in this cold winter freeze.
Dancing upon a frigid breeze,
trodden paths are hidden.
In this cold winter freeze,
where sometimes warmth is forbidden.
Trodden paths are hidden,
snowflakes dance to a silent tune.
Where sometimes warmth is forbidden,
allow its dance not end so soon.
Snowflakes dance to a silent tune,
another hit my lash; it clung.
Allow its dance not end so soon,
I caught a snowflake on my tongue…

There is a beauty in the falling
The ringing sound as it hits a copper roof
Performing nature’s symphony
The sheets of water roll down a glass window
Distorting the reality outside
Or maybe it makes it more real
Imagination flourishes in the warped images
Images that bring on new feelings
Feelings of warmth and love
As it cleanses the world around it
The mind travels through this new world
Fantasies of distant forests
Lands of lush greens
Richer than any ever seen by man
Fields of waving grass
A dance that started millennia ago
A dance still performed by a young girl
Dressed in a white flowing dress
She dances in clothes soaked to the bones
The blue halo of rain around a distant light surrounds her
As she hears the music of the rain on the street
She looks to the heavens
To the dark clouds above her
And she thanks the gods
She thanks them for every drop of rain
And she prays for the next downpour
When she can dance again
