Snow

As the soft snow covers the earth like a blanket

A supreme calmness comes over me

Though the weather is cold i feel it not

For the warmth of my heart is burning like a furnace

The thought of past loves comes to mind

Not harshly but more helpfully

Reminding me that as long as the snow falls

Life will always go on

Now the snow has fallen

Covering the ground like a mother

Protecting her baby

There is nothing more beautiful

Watching the snow is like watching the ocean

Everything around is soothing

Music

The rhythm of the music calms

As if it were a mountain spring

Bringing me to nirvana

Nearer, nearer

I creep

Until the is nowhere left to go

It is no longer just music

It has become a part of me

As if it were an arm of leg

Never have I felt like this

I wish not to leave

But to remain

In the music

Forever

School

The bell rings to begin the day

Another day of learning has begun

As I ready my pencils to note take

I realize what I gift it is

To have the privilege to learn

To read

To speak

To write

The teacher begins to talk

I stand awestruck

How wonderful it is

How perfect

There is nothing I would rather be doing

To learn is to live

And I want to live
