Waiting for the Snow- TH


Waiting for the Snow

We all…
Black bears, squirrels,
The dense gray ghosting forest
With russet heart
Of fallen leaves,
Even the industrious Nuthatch,
Ever upside down,
Master of tree trunks,
Pause in this still,
Even slightly warm
Moment, air,
Pause:
Feeling, seeking
The softest fall of all…
Waiting for the snow.

Only the streams and brooks
Continue,
Are irrepressible.
Our mountains are full of water
And it must spring forth.
So the shimmering sound
Of water over rocks,
Is background
To winter stillness.

This is
Our peace.
