wow a very powerful message here, love the ending a mirror imaged moment of love and loss. Thankyou for sharing, may your heart be returned some day soon

A very measured, controlled and tight poem with deep implications. I like your use of repetition as well. Excellent.

This poem is a departure from your usual approach, but a bit more honest about what drives you to write poetry with the hope of filling that hole where your heart used to be.

That's a great picture of you. But I think that snow may be a rare occasion. Except in this rather wintry winter. We get snow rarely here in Houston, about every 10 years. Nothing this year so far. She wants to make snowballs.

Follow your dreams, but be careful not to break in the process. Over our heart and soul we have no command. Be mindful though, that in love communication is the key. You can’t truly know what is going on in someones head until you ask, eye to eye. That’s how me and my husband solve everything, we stop eachother in our steps and ask what is going on. Ten times out of ten, it is outer forces not related to us as a couple that is disturbing our peace. Sorry about the unsolicited advice. Seems like a personal question related to an issue close at hand. Occupational hazard of being a social worker. Great piece of writing, I think we can all relate. Check out my new poem that is directly inspired by this.
