White Night





White is an ether belvedere
Soft, swirling poetry
Of snowflake sparkle on the air
And earth a starry sea

White wraps the night in opulence
A quilted quietude
Of downy soft deliverance
And sacred solitude

White is the color of a sigh
When every prayer is spent
A spiraling soliloquy
Of laughter and lament

White falls not quite unlike the leaf
That drifted soundlessly
To rest within the frozen sheaf
Of sun-spun history

It is white tonight...
