Snowfall*

Walking home alone on a snowy Winter night,

I am filled with wonder passing each street light.

Here the Snow descends as crystal sparkles

that fill me with delight.

In Snowfall’s quiet sound I hear the Snowflakes

softly sing together coming down.

They kiss my hair and cheeks.

I feel a peaceful comfort.

The Town has gone to sleep.

There’s no one else around but I don’t feel alone

for I am kissed by Snowflakes as I walk

in silent peace and wonder to my home.
