Winter Precip

First the snow resembled dust,
A gentle rain of mist,
Falling slowly, with the trust 
Of wind to help assist.

Then the little droplets grew
And turned to larger flakes
Covering the windshield’s view;
An hour’s all it takes.

The softness of its fall belies
The dangers that might hide,
For winter precip from the skies 
Makes slipperiness outside.

I shall not be venturing out when the snow comes, as you get older a fall can be deadly. Roll on spring. Enjoy your weekend Ilene. Tom
