With great appreciation for the gift from nature that we so briefly call snow. If I could give it a name to capture the wonder and danger it is, and the wonder it makes room for, I think the new name would have to be long and lithe and brilliantly lettered.
Ever Enough?
Will the day come on
no longer I wish to see
wond’rous beauty snow?
Keepsake
Lovely photographs
capture unexpected gifts
created in snow.
While it Lasts
Who’s to say when I’ll
get another chance to be
out in my dream live?
