Snow

Snow,
Like a sacrilege to step upon it.
Snow,
Treading in the steps I came in.
Snow,
With such intricacy God made each tiny jewel.
Snow,
In little puffs God's peace expressed
Snow,
I wonder if Adam ever saw it.
Snow,
If so, he chose the most gentle of names to name it.
Snow,
Stop and listen and you'll hear the sound that silence makes,... and through the quiet you'll hear God whisper,"See this? It is my gift to you."
"Snow."

Oh, that's beautiful! Wonderful thoughts and expressions in this poem. I love it! I love how snow sparkles, and you're right about hearing the silence. As odd a comparison as this is, when I play war games on the computer and I'm in a winter setting, they put that sound on the game(yes I know that was a strange thing to say, but I had particularly thought of that, so, whatever). Absolutely lovely poem.

Great job!

If it were farther toward the beginning of winter rather than my "I-REALLY-WANT-WINTER-TO-END-NOW" I would probably appreciate it way more, though! So sorry for my lack of enthusiasm as I might have had earler. :/
