A WINTER STORM


Snowflakes horizontal to the song
Of the winter storm
The wind playing the air
Like a symphony

Shy dust whirling around
Circling the ground as a ballet
Constant movement and flux
Desiring to find trees and earth

Creating a palace of design
In random motion as contact is made
Building upon one another
Making the promise of spring seem far away

No confusion in the complexity of the individual
Simplicity in form
All actions made without intent
The beauty of it astounds

Watch the display in awe
What magnificence is beheld
Like a symphony
Snowflakes horizontal to the song
