A Winter Passing

the price one pays in life for love

is grief, so when it grips you know

the measure and the depth of it 

when passes on another soul

 

it took a fall of winter snow 

its simple beauty pure and white 

to break the numbness that I felt 

to let the tears flow gently down 

 

the flakes of crystal doomed to melt 

were swirling, whirling dancing free 

those quiet moments standing there 

alone with all my memories 

 

one door has closed yet clearly now

with eyes wide open I can see 

without a doubt I loved her well 

she was indeed a friend to me
