Is it so wrong
to be jealous
that they kiss
your cheek
with more tenderness
and consideration
than I could?
My sole consolation
is that they are as fleeting
as a sigh of relief
and besides
they are not as warm
as mine
yet I do love
to watch them fall
the way they flutter
around street lamps
like fireflies, and how
they sparkle in the
first rays of the morning sun
freshly fallen
making everything
appear as clean
and crisp
as a canvas might
or a blank page
unsullied by expression
Peaceful, fleeting, lovers. Another wonderful description of falling snow. (Hugs)Indigo
