Snowfall

I’m watching the snow fall

It tumbles like me

Going into free fall

Unexpectedly 

Can it settle 

Can I 

It’s wet 

Like my eyes

It’s cold like my hope

Frozen hope I will cope

It does not come every day 

But it’s shocking when it comes our way

Colder than we remember 

Not the Christmas card picture we sent in December 

It’s dark out my window 

Darkness like the night 

There’s dark in my mind

The snow is the only thing bright 

I call out

Scared I shout

She hears my call

Comes to me and my sadness 

Together we watch the snow tumble and fall

Achingly moving, you always manage to reach in and pull hard on those heart strings Liz.
