I wonder if snow is quiet like cat paws on roof peaks. I have never listened to snow. I imagine that in the silence of night the artist paints the grass white and dresses all the trees like brides. The morning paper, an intruder slithering a defying line across the yard would rest just out of reach. You would wear your robe and barefoot gallantly numb your toes to place the paper on the bed then find the warm place still. I listen to the rain tonight like a good back rub to my dreams. I wake and sleep to its peaceful cadence. I like the sound of rain. Still, someday I’d love to wake and find, that quiet like cat paws on roof peaks, it snowed.

This is so pleasant to read, Martie. It flows soft and gently off the screen and into the reader's eye much like the snowfall you describe. Very nicely done. |

Denise and Watcher, thanks for telling me about snow and for your comments. I think I'll stick with rain for now, and Balladeer, your comments are always appreciated, thanks. |
