Millions of snowflakes gone, my poet friend,
Across the slanted February roofs,
You lift my hand in witness to whiteness,
That burns beyond the scope of human eyes.
The last rays of an old sun warm the bones,
Paint glamor on the windows of the soul.
I want to be a part of your stanza,
Forever and a winter, if I may.

just as there is the last rose of summer, the beauty fowhat is last for the season or for life. these are someof the images we keep in our memories and in our heart. the certain subtleness of what tsands out and reaches to us. to become thatverbal photograph that you share with us, It was quite a beautiful image, I love in Florida, but grew up in New York until middle age, i remember winters and there are those images that i keep in my memory. A definite 10 sandra
The poets eye sees lasting beauty in the passing flakes - that which burns beyond the scope of human eyes burns within the soul(brahma satyam jaganmidhya)
