For the Love of Snow

Its beauty encompassing
Yet impermanent
Snow invites appreciation and participation
Without needing acceptance
It’s there for its own fulfillment
It doesn’t care if you like it or not
Or even if you love it
It will do what it does
As it does
When it does
Snow holds the world in suspense
Flake by flake
Blanketing every surface
Quieting every little thing
It patiently expects
Time will take longer
