A Wintry Spell
Our town has disappeared
beneath last night’s ton of snow
and trees moan loud while bending double
under their heavy load
The warning’s out
everyone should best stay indoors
for expectations are
there will come down a whole lot more
The word disaster’s spread
all over the news
but when I look outside
all I see is beauty and peace
Suddenly our busy lives
have come full stop
and not used to taking it as it comes
that much
reactions are a bit over the top
So ease your minds

and lose your frowns
and enjoy this wintry spell
the heavens sent down
for in a week or two
at the most
the snow will all have melted
and disappeared
like an evanescent ghost

Oh I loved reading this...there's never enough snow, in my opinion. Beautiful!
