All Silence Ends

• Artist: Rika8484
• Description: "All Silence Ends (the snow poem)"
  
  I wrote this just now. See, I'm sick from school today, and the only thing I can see from the window is this ugly brown melting snow.
  And so, a quick reflection on snow.
  
  Not a masterpiece, but I'm rather pleased with it.
  It's not often that I use alliteration. There's a little bit in there.
  
  And I've been using a lot of rigid patterns lately, so this time I thought I'd use a more relaxed and free sort of pattern.

Still and silent sounds in air.
The ground is crisp and light brown
the day of the first snowfall.

All silence ends.

The first fluffy flakes fall from afar
- they come from so very far -
and float on a chilled wind to the ground.

Then, one day, the blizzard.
The sky takes on the ground's old tint.
Rushing air whips wet white winter
to cover everything.

All storms end.

All around is white.
Pure.
Unbroken.
Peace.
Made more marvelous by the youthful spirits of the children
(and the young at heart).

All peace ends.

The short illusion slowly fades.
Weather warms, magic melts,
ice becomes an enemy.

What was once beautiful and white slowly turns
yellow, brown, black,
telling
tainted
taken
And slowly disappears.

Gone away till another day.
Waiting far above in silence.

All silence ends.
