Snowflakes slowly flutter down
Like silent ghosts in the night
Blanketing a sleeping world
In a dazzling array of white.
Not a whisper rides on the air
As the spell is gently woven,
And steals away the shadows of the night
As the sun slowly makes the air Golden.
Twinkling diamonds blanket the ground
The world is pure for a moment.
Dressed in her mantle of white
Purely covered by the snow
That gently fell in the night.
Laying there on the ground,
No longer able to take flight
Not one snowflake is the same
Yet they didn't put up a fight.
They allow themselves to melt.
To become nothing we can see
Slowly disappearing off the world
And becoming nothing more than a memory.
Until the time comes again
When silently in the night
The earth becomes blanketed again
In her purest mantel of white.
Take a moment and stop
To look out at the snow.
It is a gift to all of us.
Feel the warmth of heavens glow.
