SNOW

Our snowfall a couple nights ago reminded me of a poem I wrote from several years ago. The snow is so beautiful, but has the power to rearrange our lives! I hope you enjoy my memory!

Like a blanket of light,
It fills valley, large and small,
with icy cotton, and
dresses hills and mountains
in shimmering gowns of white,
making that which was crass, pure.
It lures children from the warmth
of home into the chilly playground
where snow angels flourish,
battles are fought with snowy cannonballs,
and snowmen wait for the sun
to warm their cold bodies.
With silent, frozen breath,
it blows aside our schedules,
rearranging our lives,
keeping us helpless
in the face of all we have to do,
demanding our surrender to its will.
2007

    3. I am so glad you enjoy my poetry. I was off for awhile and so missed many comments. I decided to get back on but it is a little confusing to remember how to do everything. Meanwhile, I published a book of poetry through Amazon called Voices of Life. It was fun to so it. I hope you are well. I look forward to communicating with you through wordpress.
