Snowing
Snowing snowing today . . .
Lots of thoughts are in my head . . .
Snowflakes run through the streets
They do not know where they'll land
Thoughts run somewhere
They do not know where they fly
Numb and beautiful snowflakes
They do not know what is to die
It is white in the city
All have been blessed
By tango of snowflakes
And waltz of spinning wind
It is cloudy and muffled
Inside of my world
Thoughts are brutal to me
Thoughts are broken
into millions
of thoughts
As painful shards of puzzle
They encircle my heart
Rip it into fragments
Coldest beauty of falling-snow charm
Burns what is left of red witch-hazel
Curse of whitest dance
Covers all with cold wing
Bends the branches of trees
With frost of snowflakes
Storm is deep in my world
Pulls the roots of my mind
It fails
Shelters frozen sprout of love
Thaws it with the heat of my tears
