The 4 Seasons -Part 2- Innocence in the Snow

by holly   Jun 13, 2006


As I write upon this page,
the fire burns beside me,
outside perfect white snow,
is falling on the heath.

It's deep into winter
and I'm curled in my bed
writing a story
about things i want said.

About Innocence and beauty,
about how life should be,
about the wonders of winter,
as seen by me.

I spend my winter here,
in this little snowy place.
To absorb nature's beauty,
and get some breathing space.

From a world of expectations,
and a cramped city life,
where i'm forced to be something
when all I want to do is write...

As the snowflakes fall,
I sit and dream
content to be alone
and just enjoy the scene.

I picture a little boy,
playing in the snow.
As I write of his adventures,
I wish that I could know,

That someone would read my story,
that someone could see,
the beauty of a little child,
and how refreshing their innocence can be.

The month of winter,
can be harshest of all.
But curled by the fire, I see only beauty
and I am content to watch this white snow fall

    "To absorb natures beauty,"

    "and I am content, to watch, this white snow fall "
    The commas aren't really necessary.

    I liked it. I'll say that in most symbolic references, snow either symbolises a blanket of innocence or a harsh reality, and I'm glad the poem focused on the latter. The rhyming was well done in this poem and was very unobtrusive.
