SNOW KISS

The fleeting moment
Floating on air,
A kiss.....
As beautiful as the snowflake,
Delicate and vulnerable
Light from a darkened sky.
Each touch.....
A crystalline memory,
A taste of her purity
A promise, a hope
Love that drifts
Kisses that billow,
On a breeze of wonder.
This moment.....
Forever lost
Though forever kept,
Purest of thought
Shining in the lamplight
Millions of frozen kisses
Silently falling.
The snow kiss....
The first to land
The gentlest, sweetest touch
Of tenderness,
Of ones faith
Loves feathery embrace
The merest, faintest taste
And she's gone.
