First Snow Fall

First Snow Fall



white flakes
(like eiderdown)
flutter from heaven,
collect on tree branches,
hedges and shrubs

like your kisses
they caress my cheeks,
brush my lips,
burst on my tongue

they blanket all,
leaving the street
an untouched virgin,
a wonderland
of mystery

all traces
of my coming
have disappeared
making me question,
Am I here
at all?
