Falling Snow
Snow is falling thick and fast.
Perhaps it covers up the past.
Underneath white purity lies crimson iniquity.
Snow is falling near and far.
Perhaps it covers up the bar.
Underneath white parasols lies extenuated lulls.
Snow is falling hard and firm.
Perhaps it covers up the worm.
Underneath white dusted needs lies insufferable deeds.
Snow is falling night and day.
Perhaps it covers up the way.
Underneath white curtain lace lies a godforsaken face.
Snow is falling left and right.
Perhaps it covers up the plight.
Underneath white pattern flakes lies indescribable aches.
Snow is falling hush and still.
Perhaps it covers up the will.
Underneath white powder crust lies an unrequited trust.
