And Snow It Goes

And so it snows –
And snow it goes

The day arrived
The sun arose
The world was white
From overnight
The sun was warm
The sun was bright
And so the snow
As snow will go
Did melt from sight 
– And snow it goes

And in my heart
As deft as art
The melted snow
Remains, in part

When winters blow
I’ll always know
While so it snows
Well, snow it goes –

This is such a great poem John with a lot of depth. So well written. Love the imagery here. ‘ And in my heart, as deft as art, the melted snow, remains in part.’ Such a profound stanza. Also love the refrain line. Much more here than just the coming and going of snow. Really enjoyed it Thank you for sharing.

Cool! Just today I was thinking how I wish it'd snow. It's 60 degrees at night, but still. Hey if God said "let there be light" He could say "let it snow"... and snow it'd go! :D
