Snow In New York

I'm watching the snow fall through the naked
leafless trees..
The fine light flakes dance their way from the 
sky as they fall free..
The white coating of snow blankets the roads
as all begins to blend..
The quiet in the air sings slowly as does the
background of sounds it sends..
The birds fly from branch to branch searching
for a home for the night..
The wind begins to howl to a slight vision of
distant lights..
The calm before the storm is the preview 
before the plot..
Wind drifts and plows are the early morning
sounds we have got..
Our first snowfall of the season here in New York City..
The view from my window with snow capped buildings
all makes it pretty..
