Christmas Snow

Christmas snow flakes drift
hanging snug against the window pane
rising high and cold and swift
it’s replacing autumn wind and rain
silently invading the garden paths
trembling  softly on the tips of grass.
messages of hope rise up in prayer
an awaited promise time fulfilled at last
soon a savior to behold within a manger there.

Snow comes early, chilly at the start of winter tide
nesting on the leaves and covering the pond with snow
over shadowing the birth of flower bulbs as they hide
whispering too soon and too early to grow.
