Snow-song

Rollicking, frolicking, feathery fray

Blanketing evergreen, umber and gray

Embellishing fences and skeletal limb

Swirling and whirling celestial hymn

Cotton-soft canticle, mute melody

Tumbling from chambers of infinity

Spiraling splendor decking land and lake

God’s wonder captured in every flake

Dizzying dazzling, soundless madrigal

Heaven’s extravagance sweeping hill and dell

Choir of cherubs tumbling to the earth

Calling to children in merry-white mirth

Dauntless, dancing choristers spilling their glee

Flinging their anthems, footloose, fancy-free

Rollicking, frolicking, feathery lay

This is the song of a winter snow-day

Yes, its a snow-day, no school.

 

From two days of almost non-stop rain melting any snow that had accumulated to

winter making up for lost time...
