Snow is in the air;
A canopy of thick clouds
Holds the pregnant sky.
A canopy of thick clouds
Holds the pregnant sky.
Distant crying bird
Made more distant by the glass
Between him and me.
Made more distant by the glass
Between him and me.
A few flakes of white
Float silently through the air.
Where are the others?
Float silently through the air.
Where are the others?
Through the layered sky
A crow sails, calling hoarsely
Adding its darkness.
Even woodpeckers
Ignore these ancient tree stumps--
Holiest of all.
Ignore these ancient tree stumps--
Holiest of all.
Signpost without sign--
Some things better left unsaid.
Passersby. take note!
Some things better left unsaid.
Passersby. take note!
The sky grows darker;
Earth is ready for the snow.
No flakes are falling.
Like Ninjas they fall,
So softly, without a sound,
These legions of white.
So softly, without a sound,
These legions of white.
