The Playful Dance

Snow fall description

 

 

The Playful Dance

 

Lightly falling, you dance your slow dance

Gracefully, playfully you cover this earth

This blanket of wonder brings all to on age

As gather we close to hear the wise tales

Of times before you visited the fathers

Blankets of hope and blankets of death

Can all be found in one Nature’s breath?

 

Childlike you make us all inside

And giddily we frolic and leave our brief marks

Statues of you we stand as remembrance

Of times before and hopes of times to come

Brilliance and sparkly you brighten the dark night

Reflecting all light to render no secrets

Covering all blemishes till all looks the same

Roads and fields share in this light

Even death’s dark battlefield do you make bright.

 

Fleeting and easy you come to us now

Your path as clean as the winds blowing gusts

So soft now the dance you playfully perform

Your wonder of brilliance within and without

Can ever one heart be not turned

At the beauty you show and ask nothing returned?

 

Gracefully, silently, playfully, beautifully

You cover earth’s scars

And let her children Dance!

I think there are few things as beautiful as a fresh snowfall... and in this lovely write, you capture the essence of what I feel walking through the streets and forests, taking in the dancing flakes and the crunch underfoot. Even the ugliest things can be hidden, and your line "You cover Earth's scars" is very adept. I wish more people could see snow like you do... as bringing out that childlike sense of wonder, Mother Nature reminding us it is time to go outside and PLAY! Hot chocolate, anyone?

I was thinking autumn. But then there isn't that much snow in my life.

A nice piece. Well written, thought provocing.

Just so many awesome lines in this poem. Love your ending. It sums it up nicely. The best I have read on snow.

[Mary E. Green]

You have such a way with words! Love it!

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Brings me back to my kid days, I remember falling head first off a trampoline into a foot or more of snow - lucky for me the snow caught me, heh. Wonderfully written, nicely done.

Great Write

Thank you for cooling me off! I'm in Florida and my air conditioning is broken tonight. Your flurry of words brings past events and precious thoughts to mind. I like how you wrote this with unique vision.....
"Covering all blemishes till all looks the same

Excellent poem!

Great vivid detail. My older brother married a Hawaian. This was many years ago, but I will never forget her reaction to our first huge snow storm. This poem brings back her image, and the childlike nature snow brings with it. There are so many lines in this, but this one lept out at me..
