Snow

Original Submission by Percy Brahma

I saw snow falling.

Swaying down to the alpine mountains

From my window penal turning white in froze bits

In millions they fall hard to count

Like a conquering army of foreign soil

Turning the world in paper gray

The wind brew so cold

Even the dark great wolves cry out

Silhouetted pine trees shivered

For the seeping warmness of fire

Old, young and elder grumble in misty night

All alike, eluding the beauty

Where my eyes shine bright

May be the blindness took the old,

Young too dull of imaginative to see

Elders too busy.

But, may be the reason lies from the place I came

Where no cold wind blow or white snow

To be found

Just the black smoke coiling up the sky

Bilge blockers drains

Man made mountains, joyless sky.

Dwelling city, modern invention.
