Small Sensations
The whiteness pours from sky and swirls to ground
and gentle breath of wind makes snowflakes glide
across the frozen river, where hearts pound –
for something in the quiet calm outside
has grown to be a wondrous, hidden guide
which lies within this lover's gentle smile
evoking the emotions that reside
within those bright expressions, all that pile
on top of one another, growing while
the snowflakes fly to tenderness and melt
upon the warmth of clasping hands, an isle
that rises from the cold, which now has felt
the Small Sensations hidden guide has laced
into the snow, where those first loves were based.
