FALLING SNOW - by Evelyn Macdonald


 

FALLING  SNOW

by  Evelyn  Macdonald



Falling snow is beautiful
pristine, soft and white
a gentle flowing mantle
reflecting nature's light


Icy teardrops congregate
cling to bough and vine
multi-faceted diamonds
glitter, sway and shine


Snowflakes on a frosted lake
become an artists dream
blanketing the silent dell
with perfect winter scene


Skies of heavy laden snow
will surely fall but soon
draping ghostly branches
silhouetted by the moon


The precious jewels of winter
are treasures rich and rare
the glories of the season
are there for all to share


Beauty all around to see
tiny seeds have sown
snowdrops soon will lift their heads
and flowers will be grown


Falling snow is beautiful
both peaceful and serene
holds promises of spring time
from white to budding green.
