If you watched the falling of the snow – v2

Slow down your anxious mind,

set yourself free of the day

put on your coat, your scarf

step outside.

If you watched

the falling of the snow

caught in the light, the sky

falling to the ground.

Swirling, pulled,

in eddies and whirls

landing, light, heavy

upon the fallen leaves.

Fading yellow, to rust

the oaks and the maples soon buried

under a blanket of white

a sense of calm, of peace.
