A snowflake falls in splendid silence Unparalleled in undeniable uniqueness As more and more fall slowly delicately building upon each other Creating walls of compacted virgin whiteness stacked high Reticent, uncommunicative Sentinels of stillness, unmoving Sadly survival is short-lived Mixing meltwater mush Eventually evaporating into the same silence from whence it came Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved
Laura Bloomsbury is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with 'Paradox' We were to choose one of three lines from Paul Dunbar's "The Paradox" or the line given from Wallace Stevens' The Snow Man" I chose the second option: "For the listener, who listens in the snow, And, nothing himself, beholds nothing that is not there and the nothing that is."
