winter song

 
into the bright blue  
into the clear light  
and beyond that  
into the white  
into the night  
she stole  
to retrieve the love  
she had thrown away  
blown by a guiding wind  
the coldness in the air  
an icy compass  
like  
silence  
after words  
covering ground  
in fresh snow  
footsteps  
sparkling winter whispers  
a crystal song  
singing  welcome home
