The Snow

The snow falls down softly to start;

A peacefulness it does impart

And all through the night

A blanket of white

Keeps its pace like the beat of a heart.

 

By morning, the plows have come through,

Making paths with their salt and sand crew

But the bushes and cars

Still retain reservoirs

Of the fresh-fallen snowflakes on view.

 

Hours later, in snow boots with treads,

Come the parents and kids with their sleds,

Heading into the cold;

Such a joy to behold

From the warmth of our couches or beds.
