Analysis of Until The Melt Begins
The snow fell,
freezing my hope
to the branches,
—waiting for spring
The snow fell,
dropping its cold
reminder,
—onto feelings bare
The snow fell,
through its grayish white
shadow,
—an untrodden dawn
The snow fell,
leaving me buried inside
this moment,
—until the melt begins
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)
