White, fresh snowfall
Its arrival, highly anticipated
presents a silence
All is absorbed
All sounds trapped in all this snow
The fluff, the layers
have made it
All quiet
All slow
Eventually
It is no longer the flutter of snow
that I hear
Emerge
The flutter of wings
Bird songs
Birds sing
Come
It is the arrival of spring
