Poessay: Rosary 5 - Descending

July 31, 2008
temporal

snow flakes float
from where
the Words
used to descend    once
playful, cajoling, gliding
skirting buildings, branches
hearts, young and old
then hitting the ground
where they embrace
fallen flakes
again
and yet again
losing individuality
under the flakeslaught
of furtive embraces
and silent screams

rustling leaves
gliding, descending
like the words of God
ginger footprints
on wrinkled souls
sigh less

silence
deafening
despite the day's din

a silence in which stillness stood out
a repose in which Creation stood out

and that smile
