WHAT WILL ONE SEE
Snow flakes dancing to the ground
While arabesquing ‘round and ‘round.
They’re painting the world all in white
Laying blankets throughout the night.
What will one see when he awakes?
Artistry of those little flakes.
Diamonds scattered on once green lawn,
Winking, sparkling in light of dawn.
Branches snuggled in ermine coats,
White scarves wrapped ‘round chimney throats,
Fence posts wearing jaunty caps.
Bushes arrayed in frosty wraps.
Millions of flakes before your eyes . . .
Large and small and minuscule size,
And in the piles, where they lay,
No two are alike, so they say.
It’s quiet in this all-white world,
Where just last night the snow-flakes swirled.
Sounds are muffled . . . an awesome sight,
That nature spread around last night.
