falling snowflake
crystallized hope
drops in white
looks to be
caught, held
to join
and turn it all
to white, and
know why
she fell. But,
instead, she
drops into a
puddle, a sea
waiting to steal
her white, and
all of her
why
is
gone.

You’ve captured the utmost depths of hopelessness in such a beautiful manner that it’s very loveliness still offers hope…

Thank you so much.
Wow. You have been to very deep places, Sarah – and it is those depths that give you your strength, your why….
Thank you, Melody. I appreciate you comments..and your work.
I know the melting feeling of crystallized hope meeting water. There is a strange acceptance that is found when watching hope disintegrate. Sometimes it can be liberating in a brutal, painful way.
Gorgeous poem my dear.
I agree exactly with your comments, and that is what I was hoping to convey in the poem. Thank you for your kind comments
You conveyed it beautifully.
she didn’t drown, she became more…. lovely Sarah!
thank you very much
I love the somewhat guided ambiguity of the piece; it’s like a beautiful woman wrapped in a veil. It can in turns mean loss, and longing, and, at the opposite extreme, love and risk. But there was a prevailing regalness as well. You probably had a specific mood when you wrote it (or not), but I think it’s also powerful when a single piece can speak in several voices so naturally.
