Swallow the Snow

[Andrea]

It’s snowing again,
vast sticky flakes.
They cover everything,
Almost.

The hole where my heart was
Swallows the snow,
Hoping that it will
Fill up the place where
Once emotions played

For a few blissful moments,
My aching body was content,
Numbed by encompassing cold.

But spring is coming,
Blades of grass poke through
The cover of winter
Birds sing and dance
In a cerulean sky

And I know,
That in a few short weeks,
I will once again
Be forced to confront,
The damage that was done
To my soul.

So I hold onto,
These last few,
Extended weeks of winter,
Hoping to avoid pain
As long as I can.

This was sweet. The tone changed a bit suddenly for me. I may have preferred you to describe the beauty of the snow more, but I still enjoyed this very much.

Favorite line:
The hole where my heart was
Swallows the snow,
Hoping that it will
Fill up the place where
Once emotions played

That was absolutely great! I love it. It has such a dark tone in contrast to the light pictures you portray. Absoluly wonderful!
