Snow

The coldness bites as harmful truths

Soft white snow falls like dreams to the ground

Sorrow rises from the Earth

Meeting at the place of loneliness

Where I feel all the pain of the world

I wish for beautiful nature

But even in beauty lies

The darkness that sheds tears

Dreams, wishes, memories are the worst

They can give you a smile

Or leave you with tears
