Love
the kiss
of first snow
you barely even
feel it
it’s a miracle
it’s even here
but from a distant place
above
the ground looked up
and prayed
and a million years went by
and by
and the stars
that no one ever sees
broke way
away
from the night
and floated down
past the sun
a glitter of powder
on the ground
covering all the holes
all the dirt
all the puddles
all the leaves
all the seeds
and without a word
the snow melted
into the ground
and all was green again
as if it always was
just a field
of emerald green
without a trace
of glitter in the air
like a snowflake
that never was
but a rose
knows different
as it looks up
from the ground
and unfolds itself
to see the stars
break way
