The First Snowfall

There were snowfalls elsewhere, earlier, I know
but the first snowfall here, a vision in a show
of beauty, light and merry, absolute glee,
as the frost-white snowflakes gently encircled me.

Wet large snowflakes, an artist's pure delight
came down 'round my head late into the night,
half-dollar sized, and flung from angels' hands
drifted to my corner, fell upon the land.

Now in mornings' light, the vision still remains,
snow clinging to tree limbs, the world is not the same,
and 'tho it should disappear, and melt its merry way,
I am glad to have been here, just to see this day.

lovely visuals Sunshine..but it reminds me of why I moved to Florida..

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

A very pretty scene, as all first snowfalls are.  And Pegasus need not think that the south is safer than the north, especially not this weekend!

Karilea~
I'm with Pegasus ...
Florida may not be toasty today -
but it's also not covered in snow.
Send me a postcard -
I can enjoy it through your words
and a picture or two ! !

Lovely - iffen ya' love it !

Thank you all for reading...I wish we DID have snow...we need it for the wheat!  We do not need another drought condition this coming year! OK Marge...I'll send a postcard and/or copy a picture from last year...and I will do my best to write a pretty picture of it as well...one of these days I'll even write about the muck and gunk...
