Icy waters

March 2001

Sometimes I am snow flakes falling on your hand,
Soft, light and fresh.
Some other times I am a glimpse of a landscape
Covered with pure white: hills, woods and streams
Bright and sparkling in the early morning sun.
And in some other places I am a glacier, big and old,
Slowly carrying huge rocks from the mountain top
Where snow is forever, down into the valley
Where birds sing sweetly.
