First snow.
The earth put on her gown,--
at once, both fleeting and eternal.
I watched how fast the naked ground
transformed into somebody’s journal.

My footprints bared a patch of granite.
I grieved beneath the burdened pines
that no one else upon the planet
appeared to read between the lines.

is this something like be careful where your footsteps lead for every step will show, kind of thing, it stikes me as such...we tend to think the snow hides all too, is another angle. Nicely done
