      der Sturm

when evening comes
and darkness calls
the snow falls
on and on,
caressing all
with soft-white
alabaster hands,
effacing all the
sharp-edged
sins of man.

Very well said and written.

These are thoughts that have often come to me as well, especially after a few fresh inches of snow.

It's beauty covers what my mother promised a fresh coat of paint would...a multitude of sins.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your poetry.

...just bein' Bluesy

Snow does cover a lot of ugliness. Bruce.
A bit of a two-edged sword.

Beautiful, but then the slush and dirt come and spoil the beauty of fresh falling snow. Somewhat like life itself I guess.
Best to you, jo
