Still. Unmoving. <br /> <br />I gaze into her <br />gazing. <br /> <br />Eyes full of snowflakes. <br /> <br />Time falls slowly. <br /> <br />Just like the snow <br />she erases her drawing <br /> <br />turning it too <br />back into white. <br /> <br />Quiet falls slowly. <br /> <br />She tells me <br />(in a whisper) <br /> <br /> <br />not daring to <br />take her eyes away. <br /> <br />“World gone! ” <br /> <br /> “World hiding <br />in the snow! ” <br /> <br />“Look! Look! ” <br /> <br />“Slowflakes! ” <br /> <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br />Dearest Helen...instead of a postcard...a poem from the Amalfi coast...intense sun...and perfect blue...and then a poem about...a winter of long ago! Only thing they both have in common is...wonder! <br /> <br />love Dónall Dónall<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-falls-slowly-for-helen/
