Dances, free
The bitter wind is clawing at her face,
The winter frost as cruel as it could be,
Behind her lies what was a family,
A life so dull it had no pride or grace.
The snow, so delicate it drifts like lace
Across the icy air it dances free,
Beyond it many paths she starts to see
And so she dashes into Hope’s embrace.
There far away she calls for one she loves,
The colour in her page of Black and white,
Together they will see their new world through;
Bring calm amidst the snow like peaceful doves,
Like moonlight shone in hope throughout the night,
Together they will lighten life anew.

Chapter Notes: Thanks to Gary for betaing and to Elle and Gina for suggestions. :) This was originally written for Poetry class, then I had a notion of submitting it to the Character sonnet challenge...but finally it's ended up here!
