THE SNOW FALLS ON EARTH

Behold! The snow falls on earth --
incessantly, on the entire
creation. Palm full of snowflakes...
It burns! with a celestial fire!

from the abyss above us; whence
so much light comes down,
it's thinkable to meet one's death
yet stand one's ground.

Don't dwell on anything! Behold
White Time of Winters
take fortresses, and fly, and fall...
as if you've witnessed

not just a moment, a snow, -- whole life!
Upon all sadness
descends a softly twirling light --
response, from heavens.
