Snow Reflections

 020_19A

As the snow is falling,

     sometimes gently, slowly,

     sometimes in blinding gusts that take

          the breath away,

 

     cleansing what was, just

          a few days ago,

                muddy, brown, and

                     dull,

     creating a new world

          full of opening, optimistic adventure,

          giddy playfulness,

               mystery,

                    beauty,

 

     blanketing the earth in softness,

          silence,

          giving of itself to

               seep into the deepest

                    roots,

          giving life that is waiting,

               nearly aching,

                    to burst into song

                    and dances of color,

                         a new season,

 

so the Spirit falls upon my soul.
