SOMEWHERE IN THE SNOW
Lost so long ago, a brother and sister, somewhere in
The snow,
They had names, playing on a January day when
They lost their way.
When the snow started to fall, their path was not
Recalled,
They were never seen again as all stories have not
A beautiful ending.
They have for many years now wandered somewhere
In the snow,
Ghosts of a January searching for a way back home,
Together they roam.
There is no sadness, no tears on faces anymore,
Not cold in the snow,
They are together forever, they journey to a new
Eternal home.
Keith Garrett
The story that ends in inevitable death, and yet, the set up, doesn’t make it feel, all that, sad, an alternative, a little better ending, I suppose.
