Notes About The Poem

The Evening Snow---Quatern

To watch snow tumble from the sky
on streets that clamor with unrest,
the eyes behold the mystery,
of nature at its very best.

I lift my eyes in evening air
to watch snow tumble from the sky
and marvel over nature, rare,
that hides each flaw to glorify.

As grumbling shoppers pass me by,
and traffic rumbles in a state,
to watch snow tumble from the sky
No time to awe, or slow the gait.

They cannot see beyond the cold,
or witness magic for the eye
But, I must stop, my breath's on hold
to watch snow tumble from the sky
