    A Moment of Peace

Silent, soft, and slow falls
   the gentle snow,
from Gaia’s Winter cloak of
   boundless clouds,
to mask all follies and  
   schemes of men
in a cotton-white mantle
   of finest dreams
and assuage the saddened
mind, broken heart, and
   troubled soul
as Time stands still in
this moment of blissful
    peace

Exquisite, dear Bruce. You are so right! Snowfall can become almost hypnotic and it can guide us to experience great inner peace.

I could see the falling of the snow as I read this. Slowly covering everything in white, softening the landscape and how it can deliver us to a place of peace.

In my mind, there is nothing more peaceful than watching falling snow. A beautiful write. Thank you for the moment of peace!
Maybe if it snowed in places like Syria, Afghanistan and other mid-east countries where there is conflict, we could have peace!! ❤️
