flake after flake



arrives the flakes; and driving wind
   the white swirling and whirling
it falls in the forest and on the rivers
it veils the homes, gardens and parks
         the paths and streets and cars
until all is winter white
       come north wind; I hear you 
while floating snow clouds hang low
and flake after flake falls, falls, falls
how delicate each one    like snow stars
on wispy wings they dance and twirl
                  clinging to things
they whisper to me in a sorrowful voice
flake after flake
           now, we will melt and die
