The White Falling Snow

It falls, falls through the barren trees 
It attacked with its silent warning 
It falls for everyone awake to see 
And brightens an otherwise dismal morning 
Softly, yes softly it settles with ease 
No noise it makes with its descent 
Falling straight as there’s no breeze  
Which really adds a nice compliment 
Falling, still falling as white now covers all 
The black of the wet bark shines on the trees 
As the whiteness continues it earthly fall 
And whiteness is all we now see 
Gingerly, tenderly falling, yes falling 
No sound as stealth now has control 
The sight is refreshed and not appalling 
Perhaps I may soon have a snow casserole 
White, yes white is the ground and surroundings 
And still it filters slowly to earth 
Maybe, just maybe spring will soon be resounding 
It falls, falls through the barren trees 
It attacked with its silent warning 
It falls for everyone awake to see 
And brightens an otherwise dismal morning

Thank you Jan, yes snow does cause some problems but when it first starts, well it just seems to hold one in amazement. Thanks for the support.

You have described snow with a amazing detail. I hate snow and the chaos it causes, but it covers everything making even eyesores on the landscape so beautiful. An incredible write well done Jan xxx
