Snow is falling
Covering the blackness
Of my dying soul
With the pureness of white.
Soon it will be spring
Perhaps then the dead
Beneath the earth will rise.
Maybe this sinner can begin anew.
The days are cold and bitter.
The nights are long and lonely.
The grass has withered and gone.
The trees are empty and dormant.
Snow is falling
Blanketing the dead,
But soon it will be spring.
Perhaps the dead will rise.
Author notes
It's March and snow IS falling in Chicago. I'm watching it fall outside my window as I type.
Lots of double meaning in this piece. It's mostly a spiritual, emotional piece not a poem about nature.

Oh sweetie
This is a beautiful poem
Were suppose to get 2 inches of snow Sat
told you we had not had our big one yet 
I love the metaphors you used in this poem
And I am so glad your back to writing I have missed your poems
Me thinks your muse has came back my friend
Spring is indeed the time for re birth
I have always thought that, when the dying once again becomes alive with the just the tiniest hint of green, and then comes the wonderful colors of summer
Wonderful, beautiful & spiritual
Love it
Hugs n love to you too

Most spiritual indeed! And incredibly well written at that. I love the comparisons with the dead--brilliant...and the ending simply couldn't be more perfect. Very well done! Thanks so much for sharing
Cheerios!!!
