Deluge While I Slept

Lawn covered with white;
Sun mixes with sprinkled snow
Then it disappears.

Drops of water fell;
Sparkled shine on my front porch
Freezing and melting.

he wood fence is down;
Will some farm creatures escape?
Beckoning freedom.

Sweeping up the road;
Now the wind has winter's chill;
The stream is roaring.

Rough tumbling water;
Raw wind gusting in the trees;
These, the only sounds.

Deluge while I slept
Brought river roars to the woods
Creating new lakes.

Since below the sea
Ancient rock disintegrates,
Small chip at a time.

Stream by the roadside
Makes shifting musical notes:
Liquid symphony.
