“The Calm of Snow Falling”

Where does the calm come

From when it snows?

 

It’s this euphoria of silence that’s

Louder than the roar of a freight train

But in a silent sound of loud

 

One that you can hear in a crowd

Or when you are alone

But always when it’s cold

 

It brings the world peace

Even when it’s

Cold underneath

 

It makes our teeth chitter clatter

As we squish squash

Around in the wet snow

 

It’s the delightful essence

Of snow as it’s falling

And swirling all round

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

It hardly ever snows in Atlanta and already we've had several snows. If we get snow, it's usually not until March! It's wonderful. Today I walked to work in the snowfall. It was so amazing. Makes me homesick!

I love this poem because it reminds me of snow. I get snow nearly every year. I remember when it snowed in April!

a hush so deafening, it shakes the pain from the world, and renews with a a promise of hope. Another favorite theme of mine.. Thanks for sharing!
