A Winter-White Wish. Poem by Fay Slimm
A Winter-White Wish.
Fierce, glittering winter-bright Moon,
Lighting this white, mysterious world.
Shine throughout night, he'll be home soon
And need your lamp to keep unfurling
Each rise and fall of glistening
Snow-bound field and hidden lane.
I'll stand with candle, - listening.
Please guide his way back here again.
Vivid, whole, and heart-felt… When I reached the last verse it cuffed my insides.
You have allowed the read to image these words in a prefect picture…thank you for sharing this wonderful piece with us. Scott
I saw you with the candle. and i saw the snow.. this is magnific... Is it personal, or creative, or personal with a bit of creativity?
I'll stand with candle, - listening. Please guide his way back here again. - - - - - -> what a well-written image! ! ! ! ! !
A wonderful mysterious imagery reminding me of the poetry of symbolists.Thanks for sharing! Best wishes. A.
Reminded me of a time many years ago when I used to walk home along a tree clad winding lane. The moon used to cast many shadows but gave me light to show the way. A lovely poem, of a winter landscape. Bob

A very picturesque piece. I can imagine these words inspiring the subject of a painting. There seems to be a whole story waiting to be told behind this cleverly constructed verse.
