When Snow Falls

Snow is the cruelest mistress

So, you’ll never hear my say

it’s a beauty that brightens the world

When it falls you’ll see

death and destruction

For It is not

A loving embrace

What it is is

A deadly curse

it puts an end to

What makes life worth living

The light that glints off it is

as harsh as the driest desert

I’d be lying if i said its

A beauty to behold

when snow blankets the ground, you find

It’s a harbinger of death

I cannot say in good conscience that

Snow is the sweetest gift

Now read it backwards
