Snow

The snowflake dances up and down,
dancing in the wind.
It floats in place, and I blink
as the wind takes it out of sight again.

The sky is full of the dancing snowflakes,
my eyes move quickly, trying to follow them all.
I cannot see where each one goes,
they dance too fast, falling on the snow

The snow covers the ground like a blanket,
an even white layer, covering the earth.
I close my eyes and listen
to the silence that comes with it.

The falling snow dampens the normal noise,
the cars, the street, the loud conversation.
All that is left is the rustling of the trees
and the snow crunching beneath my feet.


Until next time...
