First Flakes

The first sight of snow

is a new beginning

the cold and crystals

flutter down

gently to the ground.

Making a magical

glass globe

of snow.

A winter wonderland

full of cozy joys,

memories,

and frosty windows.

The silence

of snow

is louder

than noise.

The darkness of snow

is filling and soft.

The candles flicker

in a window

as

first flakes fall

outside.

The street is empty

and quiet on a Monday night.

The streetlight shines

with hope as the vacant houses

sit in silence.

The candle burns out

and only serenity is left

on a silent snowy night.
