Snow before the Storm

Silence is broken

by the whisper of

soft sculptured snowflakes

as noise is muffled

under the slow tread

of feet across the ground

sky heavy with snow

hanging over the land

all quiet before the storm

with paw prints running

across the deep snow mounds

found under the hanging boughs

a hush has descended

over all this landscape

waiting for the storm to arrive

so as the sun sets

and the moon shines down

across this silent countryside !
