dark - grey and Cozy the window is fogging and has Frost at the edges there is an Aura of anticipation the clouds are mounds of Grey cotton piles in the bowl of the sky they grow Heavier, and fat with stuffing a Tear, a small rend the Feathers come free one at at time the clouds fill and hte rend Widens more flakes squeeze clear of their Pillowy prison Laughing as they fall, they turn and frolick in their windy dance shimmering, tumbling, they Mute the cars And factory yards Children silence their pratter as tehy stare in Wide-Eyed wonder enchantment, inspiration, and Grace drift down to rest on Trees, cars, roofs, and bushes doghouses are transformed into Front-lawn Gingerbread huts - it blankets meadows and Baseball fields disguising, Metamorphosizing the city dump crystalizes into mountains of Sparkling sugar trash cans are eroded into white sand Cliffs Sculpting, the wind carves the snowy clay into masterpieces of Fantasy children Rush to their keepers begging to be let out into the Snowy Kingdom the early eve Moon accents the glitter - strewn as Stardust in the snow tindy creature's footprints Create a muffled crunch, as chips on Carpet angels and snowmen come to Life snow is given wings, Flying at moving targets the silvery laughter Rings from frostbitten trees the sun sinks to the snow, melting butter on the Horizon Night envelops the falling snow houses turn to Glass the trees are cloaked in Swirling ebony and ivory they dance the Twirling tango of time until the Snow ceases. All is at rest, and lives in Silence. |
