a woman making a snow angel


Snow Angel

I shaped you in the snow
the last time it descended
from the misty sky above

gentle flakes fluttered
settled thickly upon barren earth—
forming soft cloud comfort

I carved a dream
with my happy soul, smiling,
my eyes searched the universe

there were no stars that night–
just a crystalline radiance, in which
I molded the dream.

  • Symphony by Neetu

    all I hear is this song…

    carried to my ears upon waves
    as they ebb and return
    a symphony of love
    played on instruments
    of the heart—

  • Haiga by Neetu

    sultry afternoon
    in the vast cornfields
    reaping gold

  • Unwanted Companion by Neetu

    I wait eagerly
    for absolute darkness
    to lose my shadow

  • Stagnant by Neetu

    I drop pebbles slowly
    watch them fall
    in a shallow stream

  • Foreboding by Neetu

    she reaches out
    touches fog
    she had hoped
    for the sun
