Snow Falling on Embers

 

She was dancing, beneath the tree

As I shook the snow loose from its arms 

And it looked just like a scene from a crystal ball

Her tongue outstretched- her hair caught up in the breeze

 

I thought it strange, in a funny sort of way

With me up there, and an angel on the ground gazing up,

With eyes just for me, lit by fires burning deep internally,   

the world so far away from this place, where only we held sway

 

and I wondered, just how long this would be

how long did we have in this crystal ball

how long would her eyes melt the snows

just for me 

when the snows were all gone, the snows were all gone.

Beautiful images here and a lovely romantic story behind them. It is a perfect poem for a snowy wintry day.
