Snowflakes

I watched the snowflakes dancing In mesmerizing patterns to the ground Like tiny fluffy clouds Falling without a sound Each tiny white crystal Like frosty little stars Twinkling brightly Catching a flick of light from afar Settling on the branch tips Like white sugar frosting Dressing all the bare limbs Naked from the leaves falling Spiraling down to the ground In hypnotic pirouettes Laying softly on the earth Draping it with a fleece blanket The cloak of winter descending Over us peacefully A pure, white winter coating Wrapping us all snuggly Mysty 30-11-99© Home
