Snow Collisions And Other ReligionsA Poem by Earl SchumackerLight things of great valueSnow Collisions And Other Religions
The snow comes on the rumblings of mistakes As alien nature not named but numbing all the same Comes crashing, colliding by accident in atmospheres In fear, crystals of silence remind us of the loudness
How unkind ice can be accompanied by snow Once released to tumble down to mimic giants falling Blinded by colors not of their making Time stops but not before the storm unfolds Takes its toll on the unexpected visitors Drifting by they pound the ground in homage to refrigeration
Rocks stand their ground for a second and by chance Turn into sand if aging is permitted in their presence Snow can be dangerous even at a distance if not respected Ten foot trees below the timberline are frozen solid In solace they take their weight for granite in repose
Granted, their seismic temblors can cause earthquakes When landing on the heart is no mistake Branches pray in their bankruptcy to winter mysteries At what cost if they should lose their souls to snow If this were any other planet other than Earth Each snowflake would be lost to the significance Of being worth its weight in gold © 2019 Earl Schumacker |
