Weightless delicate delight
Have you ever sat and watched snowflakes falling
It’s a magical show and truly enthralling.
They glisten like glitter as they fall through the air
Spontaneously dancing and prancing without a care.
Each snowflake bears its own unique form
With the wind beneath them they swirl and swarm
Floating freely like weightless, delicate delights.
A true thing of beauty as winter bites.
They fall in slow motion from the darkened sky.
Then drop to the ground where it’s here they lie.
Flake after flake ‘til a white crisp blanket is formed.
Now the ground has a bright white coat to adorn.
The white fresh snow glistens and gleams
It’s almost like walking through a dream.
Everywhere falls into a beautiful silence
Except for the birdsong calling out like a siren.
Natures wonderland all now a pure white
It is a gloriously simple but stunning sight
But slowly and surely all life starts to move
Children playing and cars finding their groove.
Before long the perfect pure blanket is gone.
Where children, dogs, birds and adults walked on.
The remnants of a day of laughter and fun
And now the winter snow filled day is done.
