Powder Snow

I am defined by anger, doubt and melancholia
The most delicate part of my mind
has been tarnished by life
That wistful stare out onto the great unknown
where I can only see wreckage and debris
defines what I have left behind

Until Heaven sparkles
I'll wander upon the powder snow
The sky smiles frosty upon us all
yet we only feel our own pain

I'll spend my cold, lonely hours
listening to this old cassette
Skipping back again just to hear that one song
I don't want to think about tomorrow
let this moment last forever
crystallized in time

Until the darkness shimmers
I'll wander upon the powder snow
My footsteps reveal a man
unsure of his path in his existence

I loved the scene of the old cassette tapes and you're right we only notice our own pain most of the time. But what can we do about knowing our paths and destiny? Because if we knew exactly what we were supposed to do there wouldn't be any room for challenge and mistakes which so evidently define us. Good job with this one

[Dark Poet]

I liked the first couple lines the most because we all have a weakness or something that makes us 'delicate'. Many don't like to admit it either. Amazing poem

[Matching Socks]

What a fabulous poem!
Nice job with this one my friend.
