Snow

Up here in Ohio it is supposed to snow for the next few days. I love the first snow, it is so pure, so innocent. It made me think everything going on right now.

This poem came to me as I looked to the sky at the storm/snow clouds moving in as the sun tries to push its way between them and shine down on my face.

I am not much of a poet, but every now-and-then my mind lets me. Here is the result.

Snow



Snow falls down

Covering our hearts

Blinding our eyes


Like innocence



It covers the bad


And hides the ugly


Turning everything pure


Untouched



Like innocence


It stays that way


Until it is ruined


By people




Snow falls down


Onto a grave


Helping to hide the pain


Helping to guide


Us to justice



Softly the sun rises


Over fields of white


Glistening rays of hope


Like innocence from the sky
