Snow (a poem)

And I was born to tame the waves,

Lathe the smiles with my teeth, 

Cut the shame out of dignity.

Never before had I seen the life,

Carved the different from the queer,

Crunched the vanity out of fear.

Then I fell from the cloud, 

Drift to the ground like snow,

Settled down but disallowed,

The fragile grass to grow.

And I was born to tie them off,

Knock the sense out of reason,

Temper the ground with my steps.

Never before had I seen the hope,

The shine before the eyes,

Distil the truth out from the lies.

Then I fell from the cloud,

Drift to the ground like snow,

Settled down but disallowed,

The fragile grass to grow.
