Quiet Snow

Quiet Snow

2/23/2017

So slow, so silent

          Snow falls.

Rain creates a loud

          Tink, tink,

As it collides with the ground.

Snow falls

          It lands,

          Silently

Leaving behind

Only a soft, white carpet

As evidence.

For how silently it makes an entrance

          Snow stays

Lasting days,

Weeks,

While rain makes a grand entrance

Only to dry up,

          Disappear

Too soon after its arrival.

Pure Snow,

Silent Snow,

Beautiful Snow,

Leaves behind a part of itself,

          So silently,
          Quiet Snow.
