Love Horizon

Snow falls upon heavy landscape

To interrupt the chirping birds

Covering the green and stone

Playing with the flowers with utmost care

Fading them into bleak

Into pale

Into nothing at all

 

Rain was just as heavy a few days back

Serene drops falling hard on my conscience

I awaited it, sorrow clouding my reason

The colours weren't bleak

But lifeless

And dull

And dead

 

Call me emotional

But as I observe, I can't stand the way

the snow isolates the sound

Mountains don't echo

The sound is swallowed

And silenced

And non-existent

Nicely penned poem about change - for the worse as portrayed here - that occurs slowly, beginning "harmless", with rain, that turns into snow as the world gets colder...
Well written, loved the climax of the last lines of each stanza.

This is a very beuatiful write, such depth. Enjoyed!

This is beautiful. I love the form; the last three lines as each stanza fades with the words, and the way the weather has intent :)

this poem is very evocative. the image of the snow "playing with the flowers with utmost care" and then fading them... into nothing at all" is very powerful. there is a feeling of strong emotion being covered, clouded, swallowed, but made all the more present by its absence. nice write! the title puzzles me a little, but I like that it puzzles me! =)

"Serene drops falling hard on my conscience" is a great line. you go very deep with your language here, i love this poem
