I wrote "The Snow Blazed" at Camp Qwanoes, sometime in 1999 or so. I don't know what image prompted it, but it might have been the way the sun made the water seem white on overcast days.
lyrics
In the morning when I woke up for you there was rain.
It poured your love upon me like a hefty morning dew
While I was the Lily of the Valley
The snow blazed with light
Nests of hair and denim overalls were my home
Out the window, over waterfalls I flow like a sparrow falling madly
The snow blazed its white
July's naked sun makes everyone have more fun
Tonight, sky came grey, temp'rature dropped to snow from sun
Arms spread open wide you ran from there to here with your golden wings
It's all just an allusion that I do not understand: a lover to his prodigal love
Your eyes blazed with light
