SNOW BY LOREENA McKENNITT
I Dreamed of Snow On Silent Feet
I dreamed of snow
On silent feet
Falling down
Where heartaches meet.
Trees so bare
Like sculptures stood
Shorn of beauty
In their coats of wood.
The skies were satin
The clouds were silk
Like soft round pillows
As white as milk.
And everywhere
That my eyes glanced
The sad brown flowers
Stood up and danced.
The bare fields welcomed
The falling snow
Shame needs a covering
(Oh, how I know!)
The wind came whistling
And kissed my face
Departed laughing
With one last embrace.
And soon I stood
In a world of white
And watched the day
Turn into night.
The moon was smiling
With a child-like ploy
Through a tree full of snow leaves
Falling in joy.
And I ran in the moonlight
With a heart light and sweet
While the snow walked beside me
On it's silent white feet...

I could myself walking through the snow and feel the cold wind blow as I pulled the hood of my coat tighter! You drew lovely scene with your words.
ReplyDeleteI remember it well. It was snowing that day…..or was it evening……. doesn’t matter, all I know is it was snowing cats and dogs, and the cats and dogs were wearing fur over their fur. (That would be a fur’st)
ReplyDeleteSpeakin of fur, she had on this coat made of reindeer fur that I had imported all the way from up north, somewhere’s way up above the arctic circle.
Anyway, we were walking down the street towards the coffee shop to get a cup of hot chocolate and some chocolate chip cookies, (the ones with the big double double chocolate chips in them, they were my own invention) and were going to enjoy our company. (We both worked at the same place, she was the CEO and I was the janitor…... I’ll explain that one someday).
When we got there I opened the door like any real gentleman would do and walked on in while she brought up the rear…….. she’s a real gentlewoman I’ll have you know…….
As I sat her down she asked if I would play her some sweet music from the juicebox . As I turned to walk towards the juicebox, I noticed this dude leaning against the juicebox down on one knee tryin to get up. That’s when I realized it was Kneel Sedaka. (Not Neil Sedaka, that was his distant brother-in-law five crimes removed; Kneels’ crimes not Neil’s).
I saw this once before when he hit the wall (not a physical one) from a lack of coffee. Chicory to be exact.
I rushed to the counter and told the “bar east of”, I could never pronounce barista, that I needed a strong cup of coffee for my friend over by the juicebox, and to make it quick……. the coffee that is.
So I got over there as quick as I could and started pouring it down his throat. That’s when he let out a banshee scream and was up on his feet really quick like. I forgot the coffee was extremely hot…..
anyway “Banshee, I mean Kneel caught his breath, looked at me, gave me the thumbs up and “ok” sign and was good to go. So I stuck a quarter in the juicebox and punched a couple of buttons, went back to the table and picked up where I left off.
Loreena McKennitt started singing about snow.
We sat there by the window and watched the snow fall on the trees across the street as we drank our hot chocolate and ate our cookies. (I like dunkin’ my cookies in the hot chocolate.)

DeleteR U? did you have to prove you were not a robot to post a comment? lol
DeleteYes! No, but I had to prove who I was and acknowledge my birth day……but I had to think for a moment…… not sure if they were trick questions to get information from me before I passed out. As I laid there I could only think on how I could escape from this where I’m being held momentarily for observation, as if I was something of interest. But I managed to answer all their questions appropriately……. and accurately.
DeleteI was finally released and given orders to see a cardiologist, which I did. Now they want to run tests on me!!!! Vas ist hier los? Que es lo Que pasa? Congestive heart failure? A broken corazon? Aye yi mi corazon!!! ………… ughhhh!!
