Snowflakes-

Stood outside
In the dead of night
Watching the snowflakes fall

Looked up
Into the sky
Felt them on my face and hands

Closed my eyes
In awe and wonder
At the beauty all around

Strangely happy
Peaceful even...
All aware, accepting now

The starry night
The fluffy snowflakes
Winter wonderland abounds

I looked and saw
A gnarled tree- gray and stark
Gently softened by the snow

Like silent angels
The snowflakes fell
Covered me in peace and beauty

Like that gnarled tree
I stood still in acceptance
Gently softened by the snow

Snowflakes falling
In the dead of night
Thoughtful wanderer by the moonlight
