The Snow Road

Picture of frozen lake

I wish we were back on the snow road,
in that little red car
with the sun above us.
You’ll be driving, laughing at my jokes,
because
I love making you laugh.

We’ll slalom down the
black liquorice strip between
white teeth,
snow banks sliced,
and diced,
split open to let us pass.

We’ll eye-spy huts,
across linen sail plains,
and pretend to be the
occupants
for just a moment.

We’ll stop for photos
at a blue flavoured lake,
and you’ll raise your arms to the heavens,
then wrap them round me and
I’ll feel pure.

  1. Just lovely! What else is there to say! Oh, thank you also for introducing me to the writings of a marvelous human being — Terry Pratchett. He seems to be largely unknown here in the USA, but now I’m burning to read as many of his works as possible. 😛

    1. Thank you very much for your kind words. Ah I could wax lyrical about Terry Pratchett all day long, he is truly a gift to the world. I truly hope you enjoy reading him!
