Snow
Fields
I am cold,
frozen dead,
like the world
in winter.
Snowflakes
fall
from above my head
into a world of absolute
dread
and land
softly without a sound.
These snow
fields
I am trapped within
seem to stretch on—
forever.
Icy fear
that reflects the sin
will it ever end…?
—never!
I am here
in this dark,
icy place—
isolated and
all alone.
crystalline
tears
run down my face
and fall to the ground
of this snowy place,
singing a song
of sorrow.
But just as I
thought
I was too far gone
I began to realize:
I began to
see.
Where I am
now—
with the melancholy song
sung by the frigid air—
This is
what I am,
but not
what I will be.
It may be a
long time past tomorrow,
but life will return to this
desolate place.
And soon—
It will be
springtime here,
and in these barren snow fields
wildflowers
will bloom.
