It Snowed a Little Last Night

Sleepless I listen,
a muted winter magnifies
the slightest sound.

Snow falling,
snow walking over snow,
snow speaking -
wordless
as it plays a stringless harp.

Whispers of peace and death,
still night,
an ice sculptured air.

When dawn slips into
its many coated reality,

this silent symphony;
the unread simplicity
of falling snow

will have to bury its tongue.
