Showing Off Her Diamonds
flakes begin with bits and glimpses
appearing from the middle of the gray winter sky
dusting brown dried grass, then covering
a frosty frosting that begins thickening
flakes become larger, more insistent.
magically transforming your yard to a wonderland
within an hour you have a glimpse of heaven
lovely silence amid the work of the snowflakes
a cardinal flies past, emphasizing snow’s whiteness
She gleams and twinkles, glistens
Showing off her diamonds, and her blue shadows
You gasp, for her magnificence startles you each time.
