Waiting For The Snow
written by: Ann Christine Tabaka
Foreboding sky
Dark and gray
Still and calm
Is the day
You can feel it
In your bones
Winter is coming
The old world groans
You can smell it
In the air
Soon to cover
Trees so bare
Dry air charged
Static electricity
Sparks and giggles
Bring such felicity
Birds gather
Then take flight
Visions of which
Make senses excite
The first snowflake
Drifts to earth
Bringing with it
Peals of mirth
A white Christmas
Soon to be
Snow on ground
And every tree
