First Snow

first snow

came thickly

quietly

blankets of white

across the lands and lawns

woven through a

winter night’s

length

woven wet

in waves

of whispered flakes

wafted in flurries

specks – streaks

wandering stitches

stretching

sidewalk edges to their

lawns

the grasses to their graveled ways.

first snow stayed several

days.

quietly

laid

expertly

by its architect

like white quieted birds lined

along all the wet dark branches

brightening them –

slipped

like

covers upon the roofs

with white trim along eaves

highlighting

where we live and play

outlining

with crystals caught in light

all our lives our

hopes anew in warmed quiet comfort.

Final Thoughts

first snow 😉 like a first kiss, you know there’ll be challenges ahead 😉

but without that first beauty of a moment, well…

hope everyone had a good thanksgiving day 😉

namaste´- con dios – god be with you

  Almost 😊 And to me, from Central Texas, it was of course HUGE, lol! Turned out to be the 2nd warmed winter on record for those folks in Vermont! But I loved it ❤️

I live in a tropical country, so my first snow experience was nothing short of magical. I remember that experience after reading this poem. Thank you. 🙂
