A Strange Paradox


Thick flakes are falling,
Now slanted diagonally;
Now helter skelter.

Silence is greater
Watching the snow from inside--
A snow fall movie.










The old stone marker
Fallen into disrepair
Looks like a ruin.












Three goats in the snow
Munching on a bale of hay--
Breakfast is breakfast!












The old red sentinel

Sits alone on the tree trunk,
Flecked with white snow flakes.

It's starting to stick;
Now cars make tracks in the road.
The world's turning white.

Dirt road in the woods
Has a sign in red letters:
Just outlaws walk here.












Poof! The flakes have gone;
Distant sound of hammering;
Just a gray morning.

Was lost in my thoughts
And didn't even know it--
A strange paradox.
