Thanks, I Needed That

The first day of Spring?
So much for the calendars.
Another snow day.

A white trip through time,
All covered with snow again.
Ah, still it is soft.

White on lilac buds;
Dogs running free and romping;
It could be January.












The stream is subdued;
Snow flakes land on it and melt;
Water forever!










The two garbage cans
Lean, communing together,
Their tops thick with snow.


How soft the blanket
Whitens trees and covers green
In perfect silence.










A thick clod of snow
Plunks noisily on my head.
Thanks, I needed that.












Sign is blank again;
Words are a white mystery
The sun can reveal.
