Ashes and Snow

Where ashes meet snow,
Silent landscape,
Monochrome's glow.
Charcoal whispers,
Fire long gone,
Blend with flakes,
Dawn's song.

Memories flicker,
Ghostly flames,
Snowflakes dance,
Calling names.
Canvas painted,
Shades of despair,
Sorrow's beauty,
Rare.

Ashes and snow,
Contrast stark,
Endings speak,
New starts spark.
Frozen waltz,
Graceful twine,
Tale of love,
Divine.

Vast grey sky,
Their ballet,
Union of grief,
Hope's display.
Dance of ashes,
Snow we cope.

Each flake, ember,
Stories tell,
Battles fought,
Rise and fell.
In embrace,
Lesson unfolds,
Resilience, warmth,
In the cold.
Ashes mixed with snow
Ashes mixed with snow

Inspirations Behind

The inspiration for “Ashes and Snow” came to me on a winter evening, as I watched the snow gently falling over the remnants of a bonfire. The sight of the delicate snowflakes mixing with the dark ashes was profoundly moving. It symbolized the ever-present cycle of life and death, of loss and rebirth. This poem was born from a desire to capture that moment, to explore the emotions it evoked. The ash and snow became metaphors for the experiences that shape us – the hardships that burn us down and the fresh starts that build us up. It’s a reflection on the beauty and complexity of life, and how even in our darkest moments, there is always a flicker of hope, a new beginning waiting to emerge.

    The Dance of Spring In spring, when flowers wink and nod,And grasses green escape the sod,The sun, a jovial comrade, beams,And warms the brooks to babbling streams.A daffodil, in yellow dress,Does curtsy to the wind’s caress.While cherry blossoms, pink and fair,Toss confetti in the air.The robins, in their russet vests,Are busy feathering their nests.And bees,…
