Happiness and Snow

[atiguhya padma]

If happiness could fall like snow
that settles on the ground
I’d gather it into my hands
and scatter it into the air
and watch it sprinkle on your hair
and sparkle in the darkness there.

If happiness could fall like snow
that slowly settles on the ground,
I’d gather it into my arms
just like a newborn babe.
Upon your tongue I’d place a flake
and watch it transubstantiate
to a transparent liquid state

But happiness won't fall like snow
the world just wasn’t made that way
and so another year will go
I’ll not know what to do or say
to bring the happiness to you
that will bring your warm smile to me
there’s little more that I can do
than turn this all to poetry.

i was suddenly happy on reading the first two stanzas..


If happiness could fall like snow
that settles on the ground ...


then.. then everything dropped into a sad tone!

hehe,, you have nicely played with the words here.


and watch it transubstantiate
to a transparent liquid state



it is snowing here as well,, heavy snowing and strong winds..
if happiness is falling like snow.. what could be the winds,,

i ended the poem feeling uplifted despite the sad tone on the last stanza, you jsut made my day, thanks....

i got stuck in three snow storms this thanksgiving break and was affected by another one.... i love snow storms, especially in the comfort of your car...

You tease.

I really liked your poem.

It gives me images of dark evening, with sparkling snow - I like the descrption of happiness like small crystals reflecting light, fragile and weightless - falling in abundance but lost in a moment.

I can realate to the feeling of wanting to be able to bring joy to someone , and not knowing how it could be possible, while just slowly drifting further away from it.
