Snow

It's 2am, I look around.
Snow is settling on the ground.
Elegantly floating without a sound.

Refreshing chill is in the air.
To the sky I stand and stare.
A calming moment, too precious to share.

Falling softly with gentle grace.
Snowflakes cold upon my face.
Descending at their lazy pace.

Roof tops and trees, laced in white.
Creating a soothing, warming light.
On this peaceful, wonderous night.

Remembering memories from winters past.
When the snow, for weeks, did last.
Before the time disappeared so fast.

Unspoiled snow continues to lay.
I wish this moment, forever could stay.
As I feel my troubles wash away.

Everything covered by a blanket of snow.
Glistening in the streetlamp glow.
Mesmerized for a while, now it's time to go.

I slowly walk home feeling mighty grand.
Breathing warm air on to each hand.
Listening to the crunching where my footsteps land.
