a dusting of white, lays on the ground
unexpected at bedtime last,
cardinals walk aimlessly searching
squirrels watch in amazement,
young trees covered with plastic bags
just in case scenarios practiced,
out the windows this morning peered
along with curious neighbors,
freezing weather flowed into the valley
before celebrating thanks for life...
coffee on the stove brewing
smells waffle through the house,
sweaters out of storage found,
worn to save heating bills...
a blanket of white covers the land
especially in southern hemisphere,
fruit trees cry out for protection
in a worthless quiet and stoic way,
frosted windows glisten like stain glass
when sunlight shines inside...
a heartless introspection of winter
invaded our space at the wrong time.
