Mid- Winter Snow

Whilst I do dream with eyes bright 

Flakes of snow swirl with height

And float by iced waves of light.

Like prayers taking fancied flight

Angel-dust plays with my sight

To quench my thirst for delight.

Winter may seem hard to bear

Truly, heaven clears the air.

Healing Rays come into me

At this time more easily.

Even animals appear

Squirrels, birds not just Reindeer.

Impish felines on the prowl 

Giving dogs reason to howl

Penguin like birds seek for food

With does in my neighbor hood.

They beg for grains, nuts and seed

That is my pleasure to leave.

I adore to watch them eat

That I provide from God's feat.

Snow for them is nothing new

For nature  is just a cue.

Creatures respond rapidly 

Storms are not their tragedy.

Snow for them is nothing new

Whilst men complain cars askew

Wise ones use snow to renew.

Soon, winters weeks will be few.
