Inspired by the brilliant poetry of Susan Daniels. My words are but a reflection from her inspiration. The original is here: Temporary Things at http://susandanielspoetry.com
a snow angel
is soft snow
firmly tenderly
compressed
into being
a shaping
hollowed
and hallowed
with angelic laughter
excavated from droplets
frozen feathered in heaven
drifted into irresistible piles
for small warm bodies
to embed with sparkling zeal
freed by gust of wind
as dancing whirlwinds of snow
trickled into the earth
by spring thaws
to be reborn
as snowdrops
Their shape holds magic.
Now this is GORGEOUS, Stephen.
I think your poem is gorgeous and moving…
I was just inspired by your words to write something similar. Thanks Susan!
Thanking you right back!
