As we dwell on the wintry theme of
snow, here's yet another brief poem inspired by it. As dormant memories intertwine with wistful oblivion, the entangled soul, suspended in time, is appeased.

| The Snowstorm, by Abraham Teerlink (1776-1857), Dutch |
The Snow
The snow falls relentlessly, impalpable,
light butterflies land on my heart.
As they wings flutter,
my window turns opaque.
In the end, I am ten years of age,
as the snow relentlessly falls.

There's a lightness throughout the poem that evokes the snowy atmosphere
