Spring Blizzard
Eleven horses traipsed single file toward home
The scudding clouds threw a snowflake now and then
A Brown bear sniffed the air and looked toward his den
the mountain emptied
The accumulation is but a handful
Shallow depth pushed against a pine tree base
But the flakes grew bigger as the skies darkened
a whiteness emerged
A wind from nowhere pushed the flakes sideways
The first blizzard of the year was in full blow
As inches turn to feet in no time at all
the world disappeared
Soon the sun arose and then the wind vanished
Silence ruled the whiteness without and within
As the blizzard had roared of its displeasure
the universe slept
