La Cuba, Your Snow

by E. Alonzo - Sagittarius

We can sit here…

…Speechless…

Watch heaven fall
Through cracks in the sky, 
Or 
We can step outside
And catch the soft white flakes
On the tips of our tongues.
We can stand still in place
 Leave no traces of us
And of this moment 
Or
We can let heaven remember 
Us
By jumping in its delicate bed 
And move like angels.
This night is for
You and I
And for the absence of us
as we are to all around....

Reason for writing:

    I grew up in L.A. but now live in DC. And the snow, something i thought i would hate, turns out to be a beautiful thing. Life is unpredictable, even in its most simple explanations.
