The Falling Snow

The vultures are circling

Like they know

The final act of the falling snow

Time is waiting

Cant you see

The last breath for you and me

We saw it coming

But played the game

The universal language of who’s to blame

It’s gone now

The snow has passed

Time to change the name

Two people on the road

Different directions, but still the same

Fate is cruel though

Hits you on the blind

Takes you straight back

To that time

The rehearsal of life

The part you couldn’t see

All comes together now

Plain as plain can be

For the final time

You walk away

Knowing that you can

No words to hold now

Just clear to understand

The vultures are circling

Now you know

The final act of the falling snow.

[Broken Hearts]

This is an excellent poem. Very well written!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I think the vultures have been on the move for a long time, waiting for the right time to come and that too if they're given that opportunity to strike.

Realistic piece..

[Paul Bell]

Think your right. Thing aren't going to be good for a long long time.

Relationships or the state of the world today. After Trump was on today, I find more vultures circling. Valentine

Maybe a great feast.

wow, what timing to read this...i just watched "Arrival" tonight....the universal language of coming together...the pieces of the puzzle fitting snugly...
here they seem to not fit...the vultures are circling because they know the state of the world now... we are not putting the pieces together...we are throwing them away.

excellent poem.

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

It's you! My mind must be falling back in your time. Been distracted by it all day....the closure is brilliant!

[Paul Bell]

Thanks Queenie. It's one of the serious ones.
