Analysis of Snow

Mo Khurram 1994 (Montreal)



Cotton threads grow make silk
Flakes fall from sky make snow
Cotton lasts longer than snow
Spring takes away snow

Snow brings charm, a different flavor to life
It can snow a little, it can be too much snow
With wind it is blizzard, with rain it is sleet
Winter goes away with snow

Houses need digging, passages need shoveling
Street cars are covered like cream cakes
Streets need snow ploughing, when snows a lot
Summer wipes out the snow

Thick skin animals get covered with snow
While others hibernate because of snow
People go everywhere bothered, faces tickled by snow
Until season washes out the snow

Snow is loved, many names named snow
Little snow is enjoyable, enlightens thoughts
Too much snow brings effort, good for skiing
Enjoy the snow, lasts only for few months

Snow is awful and harsh in the winter
When storming, sense of danger we don't know
Cold blizzard outside, keeping the people inside
It all goes away, when snow goes away

Just like winter, snow is bitter and sweet
Just like love, warm and cold
Depends on mood, how you take it
Enjoy the suspense, not lasts very long

Beautiful, natural, and wonderful
Snow is love, love like snow
Snow is joyful, brings excitement and delight
Snow vanishes, then people recall snow
