The Word at the Bottom of the Page-a poem

CHRIST IN WINTER: Reflections on Faith for the Years of Winter

This is the third time through
This book of poems

I wondered once again
Why they are arranged this way
All this drabness filled with hope
Page after page

Then I saw the word
On the bottom of the page
Snow.

All these poems in this section
Have snow in common

I have read this book twice through
And did not know how it was arranged
Until I saw the words
That were not part of the poem
On the bottom of the page

It makes me wonder
What else I have missed
