Softly Slips the Snow Away

Softly slips the snow away, Leaching life on sundry hills; Signature of closing day A rosy glow where death fulfills The purpose set in eons past, To mark the graves of Winter dreams; Do not weep as funeral mass Sets stitch by stitch its springtime seams.

Softly slips the snow away,

Leaching life on sundry hills;

Signature of closing day

A rosy glow where death fulfills

The purpose set in eons past,

To mark the graves of Winter dreams;

Do not weep as funeral mass

Sets stitch by stitch its springtime seams.

    Melody, I believe you are a spring flower whose bloom has opened, revealing all its treasures within. You have been writing some great poetry. This is one of my favorites. 🙂
