Across shallows and brooks
the snow falls driftlessly down
laying thickly over pines and rooftops in town.
Winter softens into spring
but today her cold gaze
diligently waters the ground, a frozen blanket lays.
A perk for bulbs who will hobble forth
quench the thirst of trees and the new growth
the bitter cold will not wane
Oh, why couldn’t Mother Earth just send rain?

Although not all agree, snow is more beautiful than rain.
Yes it is unless you have to drive to Colorado Springs today! ha!
