The First Snowfall


Eagerly anticipating the first winter snowfall
Watching the clouds cover the sky
Smell of winter in the air
And then the first snowflake flutters by
Then another, then two, then twenty
Then thousands as far as the eye can see
Dancing and frolicking in the air
Out of the millions and millions of sprites
Wonder if any two are a perfect match
Perhaps the beauty is there are no two the same
Mesmerized by the sparkling display
Out of the billions of scintillations
See one beautiful snowflake circle by
And yet another draw in from beyond
Although not perfect matches
They are perfect mirror images
Drawing closer and closer
And adjoining arm to arm
The pair even more beautiful together
Sailing among the other snowflakes
Finding completion
