Snow

The snow flakes gently fall
they wrap their icy embrace
around junipers of bloom
they float down and coat the globe in white
they cushion the streets
and cushion the hearts
the snow shuts the world out
it blinds and covers
it covers the grime
the blatant poverty
it makes everything look clean and pristine
