To Cover the Earth









Large white flakes of snow
Drifting slowly to the earth
Seem in no hurry.
















One, two, a billion
Silent white flakes descending
To cover the earth.

























Striding through the flakes
Collette comes to say hello
Without moo or snort.











Misting the forest
With a soft and silent light:
A billion snow flakes.














Now the road's endless,
A soft and silent tube
Graced by the snow flakes.
















Footprints on the snow:
Record of where I have been
(But not where I go).














Hollow shots are fired
Deep, deep in the snow filled woods;
And then, just silence.
















Young evergreen tree
Shedding its color for white
Enjoys the snow fall.
