Flip-Flops in the snow

Flip-Flops in the snow

A Poem by Shannon

Its never to cold
So break out the flip-flops
and lets run through the snow
Just like these lines, nights get longer
As sparkling snowflakes flutter to the ground
How brilliantly they must shine when no ones around
Simply because life's greatest treasures are mostly unseen
could that be why we close our eyes to kiss cry and dream?
But this also raises a question, is only the beautiful left unseen?
The nightmares, and heartbreak, that we suffer through shuttered lids
the gloomy, depressive tear stained mutterings of "I should have been his"
But my dear, open up your eyes, surely this grief is a blessing in disguise?
See, Watch closely now my child, watch the world continue to spin.
Watch as slowly the night recedes, and sun shines from within
Yes, from within my friend, from within your heart, look,
Your life has become a authors pride and joy, a book
Watch, as he weaves your life in and out, he sways
Adding in all your emotions, forming all your days
Emotions of your love, emotions of your rage
But oh my dear, when times get tough
Please don't close the book!
Just turn the page!

I love the structure, the zig-zag thing. It was the first thing I noticed, naturally, knowing me. I like when you post strings of throught, it gives better insight to your mind. It helps me understand you better, since you are so often misunderstood (Guilty...)

I love how the structure itself forms a shape. The title draws you in, it's clever and funny. Very nice.

I am speechless. This is very different than your other writes. This feels deeper in a way I can not explain. Simply put, a beautiful poem bleeding emotion long held silent.
