Summary: Oh can you hear the snow fall


Oh can you hear the snow fall
Can you see the wind
Can you taste the gull's call
The shout of starlight pinned?

Can you feel the leaf glow
Catching sunlight fierce
Can you smell the stone grow
The crystal spines that pierce

Some ears hear the snow fall
Some eyes see the wind
Some tongues taste that call
Sense the starlight's din

Some perceive the leaf glow
Turning sun to fuel
Distilling scent as stones grow
Caverns to bejewel

Advertance be your watch word
Wonder be the key
Though Arda now is curved
Still so many things to see

This is GORGEOUS! ♡ I love the composition of this poem, and how the seemingly rhetorical questions are not so rhetorical in the end. :)
