As Snow Descends

I watch as white falls from the heights Where clouds of grey control the sky The ground below no longer dry As snow descends into our sights The April air no longer warm For winter rears it's blizzard head The grip of spring for now is shed As snow descends upon the farm Within an hour the ground is gone Three inches fallen but stills comes more What once was green now a white floor As snow descends long after dawn The hours pass and snowing still The city comes to screeching halt For ice now coats all the asphalt As snow descends upon the hills A foot of snow as day turns night And finally now the snow slows down A silent white is to be found As snow descends no more tonight Plows are out and shovels in hand A breath of life the new day brings The people out to do their things As snow descends upon new lands
