Let It Snow

Like snow drifting, life begins

Without a sense of harm and alarm

With a softness in personality and a pleasure from heart

When powdery, snow drifts with a current of loving air

Surfing and attaching along the happy slopes of hills

Leaving deep deposits of dreams and affections

Like avalanches, life accumulates

A heavy flow of emotions sliding rapidly

Down the steeper slopes of anger and frustration

Starting from the failing zone to deposit

And redeposit of pains carried by the wind

Traveling long distances along the flat valley bottoms of life

Like snowmelt, life finally thaws

Its layers of frozen tears during spring

To allow it streaming from the long lasting frozen heart

In easing the ache from somewhere deep within

Finding inner peace and mending the pieces of a broken heart

Skiing in curves on the path of life

Let it snow!
