Snow
SNOW
Copyright 2005 Gabriele Sass
Chilling soft, in snow enchanted
Lay the world so still and white
Sunbow rays in silence granted
Early mornings veil of light
Peaceful stood the evergreens
Wrapped in heavy winter coats
Snowcapped hills, the world serene
Downy sheets on winding roads
Dripping, crystal sculptures frozen
Twinkling silver, diamond ice
Trees in twilight’s dawn a-dozing
Dreams of daylight paradise
Down below in shadows shrouded
Valley towns lay wrapped in white
Towering mountains crowned and clouded
Bracing, arctic, glacial might
Endlessness, spread wings of wonder
Soaring soundlessly and free
That Which Watches wanders under
Snowfields of Infinity
