Snow

[veek]

Snow -
the city is just about blinded.
There's light,
no colors left in the world,
there's only white.
Your city,
like a ship,
is trapped, imprisoned by the ice.

I
know a secret:
the snow will soon disappear,
its time here is short.
Your city,
warmed by the sun,
will swim in spring's waters.

But
I cannot understand
who it is that gives us so much warmth
that the snow melts.
For a hundred long days
snow was the stronger,
and has melted away
in only five short days.
