Wintery Wonder

The day opens with a wintery wonder complete with rain and snow

Looking out the window, all I see is white

The loom of nature surprises me and puts me in the know

Clouds turn to pale and become bright

Each snowflake is unique and maintains a dream

I ask, “Does each snowflake really commit to be unique?”

Putting an ear to a snowflake, here is what they mean

“Listen closely and here is what you seek.”

The wintery wonder puts me at ease

All I really see is just a mix of snow and rain

And I think, is this what I should really see?

To think like this, it’s really vain.

The wintery wonder is what makes me smile

Without it, humanity would be so much more vile.
