Snowcastle

We could build sandcastles in the snow

Perfect white houses

Neat and clean

Pristine and smooth

Sculpted in heaven

By the devil’s pail

And with an angel’s shovel

Piercing Earth

The storm is coming

Blizzard’s wrath creating splendor

Death in blankets

Beautifying life

And apprehending values within a white light at night

We can build castles in the snow

Sandcastles with rooms with views

Snowcastles

Crystalline, diamondized towers

Possessing the most splendorous nonsense

I’d like to build our castle in the snow

So it can melt

And we can start over again

Sandcastles are washed away

Losing form and drifting

Snow may melt but it will come again

Unless a lightning bolt strikes sandcastles

And makes it glass

It cannot glisten

Snow castles may permeate the ground

And bring forth grass

For a lawn

For a white house

With a picket fence

And some number and a half of children

But for right now

We can build sandcastles in the snow

I’d like that
