Live Free Again

I wish I could 

Watch the snow fall

As you close your eyes

To sleep.

To watch each snowflake

Fall, only to melt.

They are alive, then die.

How should I feel?

I whisper "I love you"

As I shut my eyelids

And imagine the winter

Growing outside our window.

If only I could

See the snowfall.

It would help me

Live free again.

The transience of water states and the analogy with the transience of our human moods/states is well employed here Svetlana. I get the feeling the writer would like Winter to cover them both and preserve them for eternity. Good poem Svatlana.

There is an emotional connection here that brings out the metaphor in your choice of words. Snowflakes breath with life while still falling yet slowly die when they reach the pillow of snow beneath them. I love the connection here.

Sweet, calming, beautiful, feeling to this poem. Good job.
