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?

"Gracefully, silently, playfully, beautifully
You cover earth's scars
And let her children Dance!"

George, despite the fact that we have had more than our share of snow here in New England, I very much enjoyed this poem :-)

[Forest Green]

Fabulous...this is a truly wonderful poem. My favorite line: 'Even death's dark battlefield do you make bright.'

Poetry at it's finest and brightest!

Thank you Goerge for the send...!
