Soft As a Winter Snow

Soft as a winter snow You have dropped into my life And touched my heart Your beauty is your compassion The gentleness of your touch The deliberate kindness of your words Reaches inside of me And warms my heart You are tender by design It would hurt you To hurt me Because to you, I matter You have seen the darkness In my soul And did not run away You are not afraid You touched my face From a 1,000 miles away And healed many wounds In this old hobo Hello my new friends, I would like to let you know that I am away from my home half of the month and that it is hard for me to make comments when I am away but I will try and get to all of my friends writings when I get back in town. hobo

Dear Hobo

As Mona says, very delicate. The feelings run very deep in this poem. I can very much relate to your state of mind, here. I loved the imagery. My favorite lines are: You have seen the darkness In my soul And did not run away You are not afraid Always, Cat

Dear Hobo

Dont be long I am going to miss your poetry ... a thousand sigh poems are rare but this is one I will revisit over and over beautiful love and big hugs JayCee x x x ("Quote:-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
