"YOU'RE A SNOWDROP IN SNOW"

said a man I knew, quite a friend,
trying out the phrase.

I watched snowdrops that winter.

How staight they stood in the snow
- up to their necks,
their chins.

It was the thaw that killed them.

When my friend died, I searched his poems
for the line.
Was there love in it?

spring will follow just like the snow
but for now the cold brings it's glow
of sun glistening whilst snowdrops grow
and all around us we do not know . . .
where is this Spring and birdsong too
Winter has returned it would seem right now
lets talk to the moon and to the stars ...
tell us please is there Spring on Mars ... !
