A Pure Winter's Daughter
_______________


The coldest winter,
harbours no delight,
to a broken heart.

Crystal flakes floating in the air,
pale in comparison,
to my little one's smile.

Watching,
Snow frosted trees,
Through glass windows,
my breath upon it's pane,
sighing;
though in truth,
I barely see past your reflection,

So still & mute,
apart from the twitch of the
little finger, and that of the little eye;
dream away, you tiny thing,
you're safe.

The snow,
though beautiful,
as can be,
does little but
take the mind,
above the clouds,
out on a sleigh across the moonlit starry sky,

fighting the cold winds,
struggling to break free,
but where can we go, really,
to quieten the flow of
memories inbound?

Staring at you,
in your hospital bed,
sleeping,
I fell in love with you. Again. And Again. And Again.
