The First Snowfall of winter

Bruce Levine

The first snowfall of winter Singular crystals of water floating on currents of air Drifting through time and space A syllogism drawn on frosted car windows Green grass turned white to crackle under feet while walking dogs Footprints outlining the path A new beginning shaping itself into a new reality Focusing on visions culled from dreams Creating an environment tangible to the eye and the senses Longed for realities realized as the first snowfall of winter Drifts across the landscape permeating the conscious and subconscious Cutting and pasting happy times into a scrapbook in the heart The first snowfall of winter Paper white and crystal clear Covering the earth and blanketing the soul
