Snowfall Seduction

Always your beauty compels me to love you

Soundless, your cadence seduces my will

As hilltop and hollow and hemlock you thrill

From infinite well-springs far, far above you

Always your tumble of gentle persuasion

Draws me toward you in spite of my will

To bolt every shutter and door to your chill

You kiss my window in quiet temptation

And thus I am drawn to your passion so pure

Free-falling diamonds without reservation

I am a child now of foot-loose elation

Heaven unrivaled creates such allure

Always your descent softens my misgiving

Soothing my nurtured premonitions of dread

With carefree abandon you land on my head

Suddenly I am in love, and forgiving
