Late Snow in Luoyang City

New Beginnings, A Better Hope

Snow finally came

In the middle of the night

As the City sleeps,

Sheets of fresh snow fell

On the mountains

From the heavens;

Spreading a white sheet

Making virgin again the City.

As the City sleeps,

Heavens cover the City

Behind a shining mantle

As white like a star once more;

Purifying the City as she dances

With her beloved in the cold breeze;

Little snowflakes flutter in the snow

Ever elegantly so chilling, beautiful and free,

Blanketing the sights more and more

As snowflakes blind and spread out

To cover the City with her loving wings

“It’s safe now”, they whisper,

“The past is now beneath all this snow”.

At dawn, Luoyang residents awaken to the first snowfall

Better late than never;

Its scent of hope and freshness,

Dazzled by its sparkles,

Refreshed by its newness.

It’s time to put on a scarf and gloves,

No matter how busy and shaky,

Remember to care for yourself

As you embark on the long journey

Into tomorrow’s hope in this pandemic era.

A new Spring beckons,

2022 has come

Behind the covid19 menace,

Be ready for Omicron friends,

New beginnings

And a better hope;

Regain confidence in yourself,

Discard your fear of death for the life awaiting,

Gather the courage to take charge,

Leave your loss and grief behind,

Let whatever passed become past,

Reach out beyond your grasp,

Finding hope in the impossible,

Create opportunities among none,

Believe in yourself, count on no one,

2022 will not be like 2021.

The snow continues to fall

Forming bumps, curbs, and drifts;

It wraps herself around Luoyang

Concealing us in her cocoon,

Encircled, we struggle as we are embraced,

For the rapture soon,

For the joy when free to last;

We feel alive in the snow

Awaiting rebirth.
