Snow falls
silent, a thousand dying doves,
the spirits of angels fallen from grace
are no less graceful for decline.
Present
yet distant, through picture window barrier
which separates two worlds.
I, standing in the dark where the moonlight cannot fall;
Nothing ever seemed so real.
Strange,
so strange, I pressed my face to the pane
yearning for the kiss of the cold.
Like a lion leans upon the iron gate
for sunlight to briefly grace his mane.
So, Prophet, interpret my dream.
Is there truth found in scrying the ice?
Ages-old Bibles told me nothing of this,
but heaven is the moonlight
which dances on the snowfall and the ice.

- Description: So, this is a poem about snow. As someone who considers snow worthy of more honor and praise than most religions, I think it counts. If it doesn't...sorry. Just don't flame at my for it, 'kay?
