Universe Descends


Sky is filled with white;
Myriad flakes of snow falling;
Not one makes a sound.
Universe descends--
Each flake different than the next.
(That is what they say).
As the world turns white
The two cows find a bare spot;
(Always place to eat).
A curtain of white
Obscures the little pine grove.
Two crows pass above.







Wind and cars and snow
Combine to create white streaks
That paint the blank road.

How can this action--
A billion streaming snow flakes--
Have no sound at all?


Soft it touches trees,
Dotting them with sparks of white--
This morning's artist.
 


Silence grows deeper
Save for the crunch of my feet
On the growing white.
