Snow's Writing for 2019, 2020, & Beyond

Looking for Irene

Looking for Irene

I look into the star filled night,
Searching for a bright silver light.
Searching for a fairy queen
Whose given name was Irene
Merlin's curse made her a star,
To shine on Earth from afar.
I look into the star filled night,
Searching for a bright silver light.
