Fallen Snow

Green tracks of grass
	wind across the yard
in heavy wet snow
	that fell in the night

children work
	at well planned task
as they do build
	of fortress strong

and snowballs make
	not just a few
has plans they lay
	for their attack

across the way
	another yard in
in same wet snow
	others dream

they pile the snow
	and shape it well
to beauty make
	in morning light

snow did fall
	on every one
and they each
	with it could build

some did build
	with thoughts of war
others to attack
	and to destroy

and others found
	the stuff of dreams
that they might build
	that beauty might be

snow did fall
	did not create
it simply was
