February Snow
An orange burn stretches
long and deep
along the evening sky.
Fifty degrees and sunny
just yesterday
and then the gray rolled in.
Calm and quiet came the night
filled with light snow
that grew heavy with the mix of rain.
The midnight hour rose in light
a blinding white
that lay upon the earth and on the trees.
A winter wonderland awoke
to snowman's snow
four inches deep and layered.
February edged out slow and steady
brushing the newly peeked bulbs
with a heavy blanket.
Sunday was refreshed
with an enveloping warm
that melted as quickly as the day came.
