Hush, Like Snow Falling, Such a Yearning Is Mine

Hush, the snow falls,
such a yearning 
is mine..

the twilight enfolds
with soft, quiet convictions- 
charcoal sketches 

of a house-
snow-frosted slate shingles,
the siding in blue shadows 

with sunlight 
colored windows, a wedding-
white lawn.

A buttercup moon
is nearby, held in the stripped 
Winter limbs of a tree;

the tiny snowflakes 
are the stars bursting and stinging 
your face..

Hush, the snow falls,
such a yearning
is mine...

You paint a purty picture Ms.Cahill and then the waiting for the other shoe to drop yearning at the end.Lovely.
