ENGLISH SNOW

Cold glistening radiant,
a frosted beautiful icy gem;
shining white blue,
with a frozen drenched touch.
A reflective covered land
mirrors unmoved winter dreams.
Magical sparkling flurries
and ice wrapped streams.

Perfect, gleaming,
immaculate spotless snow.
Flakes floating,
spinning twisting,
not knowing quite
where to drift and fall,
or which way to go.
Lying flat and smooth
a wonderful shimmering
crystal blanket

See a tiny child's footprint,
innocence stamped
on unblemished, flawless, virgin snow.
A portrait of a chilled mid- winter
impressed on a pale mantle;
falling silent hushed,
reminiscent of a long time ago.
