Snow Time

Bone chilling freeze covers this gray day. Clouds accumulate granules that will soon fall upon frosty lawns. Silence abounds. Where have all the birds gone as their bath sits frozen? The honk of traveling Canadians breaks an empty mood. Tree branches like feathered fans wave against the gray sky monotony with breathtaking beauty. Stark trees standing, awaiting the ice that may crack their limbs. Anticipation ... slowly, slowly the air fills with wisps of white and the flurries begin.

Sue, this reminds of another kind of wait, something more than existential, in simplicity you have opened depths. One love
