Goodbye In Silver, Over the Drifting Fields

snow is the last dream in the series

where beauty is finally floating away

last to be glimpsed before you're ferried

over the river that cannot stay.

best to be ready for that journey

best to be fitted to disappear

while things that loomed large,

so large for a life time

melt in the dock,  in the last of tears.
