This morning
you can hear
my flute and sound
coming from the sky.
This morning
I will bring to you
smell of snow
from the mountain
and soft snowflakes touch
on your skin.
Today
white eagle will fly
on my wings.
Today
I will comb your hair
with my cold fingers
and play with your tent,
with smoke and leaves.
Tonight
I will cover the river
with silvery tiny ice.
I will sing with wolves
and I will hide
your love whisper.
Tonight
Spirit of life
will visit your wife.
Soon
your new son will be born
with my name on your lips.

I would say this is a brilliant piece of writing. I loved each word. My association with snow is minimal as I live in a place where snow is only on the TV. But you took me with you for just a short while. Thank you for posting this poem.

Ak! I just noticed that the contest was already completed and that you won silver! It is well deserved. My apologies. My onle excuse is the lateness of the hour and the burning of my eyes. Congratulations. Again, this is a humbling and seemlingly sacred work of poetry.

Hello Sonja, What a beautiful poem about the sounds of winter!! I was just outside with my daughter the other night, it was so majestic and the winter breeze was the only sound we could hear. It was so peaceful! And you managed to put it into beautiful words. Thanks for sharing this lovely poem, I will have to show it to her!! Best wishes in the contest! Jasmine

Merry Christmas
OK, are you Croation or Indian? Super job Sonja! So pretty, so natural, very Indian, I am amazed at your versatility. Hey we have also the love of the Indian culture in common, I too love their belief's. In the Sioux culture, now is the time of our lives we give back, freely. Sioux women do not ever buy clothing again. They rely on the clothing they have acquired over the years. Sorry, getting wordy, anyway this is EXCELLENT! -
James, you are right, I am from Croatia, but my heart is beating for all people. Indian life and heritage was always something special to me. Thank you for your comment.
~Sonja~ -
