Love Poem: Walk the Snow

Walk the Snow

There have been so many white days
since you threatened me
 
 Lassie go...just go

silenced me 
muzzled my voice
lasoed my creativity
and yours

Where does it go 
the muse of love
when love captures the essential 
beat and stops the drum

the snow falls like Pompeii ash
Smothers out the voice
the cries
  those who chose to shelter 
flee children...
do not remain and try to keep the fire burning
All is lost 
in resistance to change
the flower that dies
blooms again
after the frost...melts 
spring
