The Sound of Snow

A seasonal sonnet

The sound of snow takes on many a form
molds itself to all as it surrounds it
But when it floats and falls - leaves the swarm
'tis the soft "shhhhh..." the soul cannot forget

 

It calms as the sound slowly covers me
and makes me part of the world around
Still, the white veil does not change leaf or tree
but gently covers all and peace is found

 

A monochrome world that moment exists
for all I hear and see become as one
But if we'd keep it so, we'd be remiss
accepting the lie of such beauty spun

 

This sound of snow gives just a moment's peace
but in that moment… pain and hatred cease

I like how the snow isn't biased.
The title in itself gives the poem character.
It's a very nice write and flows very well in such a difficult form.
I admire. :D

Tremendous ending. I hope to see some of this beauty this season. Seems it has been cold enough but only a few flurries so far. A lovely sonnet indeed. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Light,

"It calms as the sound slowly covers me
and makes me part of the world around"

This was beautiful and well constructed! I love snow, the way it falls, the way it looks and feels when I brush my hand across the white fluffiness of it. Winter is here and I love it!
