WINTER
A soft white star gently descends from the heavens
Until it is consumed by the warm earth.
Another follows,
And yet
another, continuing until
The firm terra is blanketed with a brilliant
cover of white softness.
Mother Nature has laid out a protective covering,
for her fragile child, from the cold.
So much beauty for the mere human.
We cannot comprehend her wisdom.
How could we know what she plans next?
Her sense of love for the earth is awesome.
She never abandons it for even a moment.
Always changing and rearranging her decorations.
The snow quiets us and prepares us for something
more awesome than nature.
His birth.
