The first, long-awaited snowfall.
Still air's full of wandering about
White, fluffy snowflakes.
They falling, tender jingling,
On the freezing ground.
The winter starts to paint itself.

Wind's blowing harder,
The ground turned white.
I know.
The winter's covering up
My past forever.
All, what was before you.

That's a lovely poem. To me, it's saying that if you are fortunate enough to meet that special person who can make your life complete, everything that came before fades into insignificance. It doesn't matter so much anymore, because from that time on it is a new beginning- waiting for new footprints in the pristine snow marking the journey of your future life.
It could also mean a new 'rebirth' after some special revelation or insight you may have had- causing you to start afresh.  Whatever you had in mind, yourself, when you wrote it, its a good thought provoking poem

morning Sergo,

To me, this poem means true forgivness. Not the kind that says"I forgive" and then reminds you of your transgression at every opportunity, but the kind that truly forgives and forgets, begining a whole new relationship as an artist begins with a clean canvas. Well written, good on you.
