Dedicated to my artist, hermit friend who painted this picture of his children ( when they were still small) building a snowman in the snow during one of the rare occasions when it snowed in the Eastern Free State in South-Africa. The old car wreck in the back ground is symbolic . . . . .
Painting by Lourens OosthuizenSee the snowman
all in white -
standing still
and silent-like
as soft snow
settles light
on this cool
long frosty night.
Crystal flakes spin
round and fall,
covering him
beyond recall.
Still he'll stand
sentry tall,
keeping night-watch
over all.
