The Snow Falls
Location
The snow falls
On her tail,
on his wing.
It settles slowly,
carefully,
silently.
During the day, the birds, the dogs
run and play
while the bears and frogs
slumber away.
The creeks and the rivers
freeze and slow to a halt
while the fish underwater
no longer jump, roll, or jolt.
The trees without leaves
are covered with nature's dander
while coniferous beings keep
their needles ever-after.
The flowers are gone,
squirrels seldom seen
as humans moan in the mornings,
especially the teens.
In the night, owls swoop,
as stealthy as ever
while mice cower in their dens,
away from the weather.
In the spring, it will end
as quickly it came.
Until next year,
when the snow falls again.
