It arrives,
not with the bravado of an
ominous weather forecast,
but peacefully this time.
This time. Snow:
always on its own terms
the stillness it offers
is accepted. Silently. Now.
Captivating beauty
for a spell.
Gentle inspiration.
Newfound solitude
is a gift. Take a moment.
Today speaks softly;
night may have other ideas.
Morning may tell
a different story.
