A winter message
A flake of snow in flurry thro’ the air
Had landed as a kiss upon my cheek:
A secret message, just for me to share;
To take to heart but never dare to speak
About or presuppose to other eyes
Your open feelings – distant though they are.
And so, upon your lips, my OWN surprise:
A flake of snow returned from me afar.
(Mark R Slaughter 2010)
Ms Winter finally came to us. What a relief. I adore it. I adore the memories that come with it.
