Snow
Snow

It snowed today,
swathes of little flakes
windblown across our vision,
literally laterally,
coating the deck like matt paint,
slowly thickening
to a crust of white puff pastry,
glistening in reflected light
from our window.

We didn’t go out,
but watched content
with winter’s usual greeting,
Christmas still to come
and sunshine and more snow
before next year.

It’s enough that seasons
still chase the chosen round,
unaffected by our sins.
