The Snow

The Snow

A Poem by Trevor Barnett

Falling at a terminal velocity
From the ether we fall at a speed that is  
Slow
What is my purpose, my destiny
Inevitable fate befalls the
Snow

Colliding with the other frosty white souls
Scattered across the ground sparkling like bright white
Gold
We're born in a season that is dead
How can something so white and pure be 
Cold

Like vampires the sun is our infirmity
Dawn approaches illuminating hues of
Wry
The epiphany before my death 
Is everything is impermanent 
Why

Thank you so much Elvin!
This takes a different path altogether...
again the way the lines counter act...
the reasoning and the implementation...

Your creativity shines in this well written poem. Your one word lines at the end of the verse are very effective. Great writing my friend.
