the first snow

have you seen it?
no, really, have you seen it?

little flakes of white...
fluttering
floating
flying
freezing

oh, the snow
and fireplaces aglow
makes you not want to go
anywhere

it's like magic dust
for a little while
until it piles up
and we sled
and we slide
and we ski
and we slip
and we build snowmen
but until then

it's just the first snow
have you seen it?
have you felt it?
the freezing
frozen
flying
falling
fleeing
flakes
are like little pieces of grace


i love the first snow.

snow? it was 85 today. i don't know anything about snow!

by the way, did you write that, or is it from something? It was very good.

I saw it Mandy... but the first snow fall of the year usually takes me back to visions of whitey tighties and rounding Restoration Hall in the dead of night.

ooww my feet hurt just thinking about it.
