Snow Sways
The sway of January snow begins
Fall…
Slow.
Slip…
Slow.
Blowing between deeply rooted trees
Sweeping…
Hills.
Sweeping…
Valleys.
The glint of flakes
Shimmer in the early sun
Frost sweeps meadows spite
into meadows porcelain
And the sway of January snow
takes flight
Over the reach of the tallest trees
and as fast as coursing streams
Swiftly swimming through unseen currents…
Beyond.
The windows glazed of ice
To the happy eyes
Of pure bliss behind.
A fire’s warmth brings solace, serenity
The sway of January snow—a moment’s magic
The assurance of tomorrow
The humanity within us all.
Sustain us till snow’s show sways again.
