Snow

First a raindrop,  a cold and icy core
 then a whitened flake joined by one or two more;
clustered gatherings before the storm
 a build of slow intensity as snow begins to form;

Come now winter once more to its return drawn
 earthen shadows no longer warmed by downed leaves forlorn.
Gray tunes in the day, as all creatures feasting slip away
in the mist and quiet flow this day of blue to shades of white and gray.
