The First Snowfall

There were snowfalls elsewhere, earlier, I know
But the first snowfall here, a vision of show
Beauty, light, merriment, glee,
As frost-white snowflakes encircle me.

Wet large snowflakes, an artist’s delight
Came down ‘round my head late, late one night,
Half-dollar sized, sifting from angels’ wings
Drift to my corner, hearing hearts ring.

Now mornings’ revelation proclaims,
Snow clings to trees, our world, not the same,
‘Tho it disappears, and melts its merry way,
I am glad to be here, just to see this day.
