Poem 27: This Graceful Season

 

This Graceful Season

It's all right,
the ground is all white, once more...
it's finally snowing,
just what I've been waiting for...

Oh just a little bit
not too much of it
just enough, to keep it all white

these words send applause

I love it because:

everything's right...
everything's white, clean and pure.


Such fun and beautiful fluff
could be significant stuff

I enjoy it more every year

when it covers the ground
without making a sound

I feel such peace in the air

with time it starts to get brown
but then more will come down
covering it over again

then I will applause

I love it because:

when everything's white...
everything's right, clean and pure
