<strong>New</strong> <strong>Classic</strong> <strong>Poems</strong><br />

Then and Now<br />

Winter Reflections<br />

Peggy Fletcher<br />

Beneath blue sun-filled skies, tall white forms gleam<br />

Bright beads of ice give way to watery hues<br />

Loud winter sounds of ax and church bells ring<br />

Creating time warp, bending years in two.<br />

Those snowmen that we built in earlier days<br />

Now stand in dreamy silence in my mind<br />

Huge friendly figures, scarves and hats, wind-swayed<br />

Brought laughter to young hearts, let pain subside.<br />

And though shared moments fade, this pure escape<br />

To childhood's frame of mind we gladly flee<br />

Though games are brief, and good times melt away<br />

The sharing warmed our words, left memories<br />

<strong>That</strong> somewhere in the future, snow-folk wait<br />

To fill cold worlds with joy, let dreams take shape.<br />
