Whispering Snow

It's snowing

outside my window

soft

gentle

snow

muting the noise of the street. 

In the quiet 

I hear 

be patient

storms pass

spring returns 

the love you've offered

though not returned

lives
deep

inside

muting the noise of sorrow 

bringing

peace

no matter how long the season

or how deep the pain

the sun 

always rises

and 

love

pure love

dispels darkness

bringing 

 hope
