Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Night's Snowflakes Fall Lightly

~  Night's snowflakes fall lightly  ~


   Night's snowflakes fall lightly
      without a sound
   Melt on my walkway
      No one's around

   No one awed by their beauty
      None thrilled by their tingle --
   Fresh ice on eager tongues
      or newly white shingles 

   on sleepy houses with chimneys
      curling smoke from logs' fires...
  Crosses glisten high atop steeples
      Winter's deep silence inspires
