Unattainable Peace
Snow falling beauty in flight
Crystalline catching the last of the sun
As each perfect flake
Floats towards the end nearer to oblivion
To the hard reality of the frozen earth
To vanish into the night
….
Falling blossoms
Fragrant silken pirouettes
Floating and settling in beauteous heaps
Cherry red and lotus pink
Apple blossom white
Likened to snowdrifts
Only softer less transient
Yet still in time trampled underfoot
And in the first good rain
Sent swirling, back to whence they came
….
The leaves of fall
They dance a wondrous waltz
Falling floating ever downward
Lifted up by gusting winds
And tossed away into the stream
Or piled in heaps
Crackling to life just for a moment
In the flames
….
Falling ever falling
Into the night into the stream
Into the flames
The beauty and the joy
The dying and the pain
Falling the flow of grace
Eternal threads
The elegance of endings
….
Will you save me from falling?
Forever falling?
Your love is the wind that picks me up
That whispers low and sweet
And lets me drop
With nothing left to grasp
And speaks in silence
Of unattainable peace
