Snow

The black clouds roll over the horizon
Blocking the bright marble in the sky
The clouds prepare to drop their loads

As they look up,
The children are excited
While the parents fret the coming days

The crystalline drops start to fall
Far up in the sky
They freeze on their descent down

The unique figures landing in a random pattern
Looking like feathers drifting down from the heavens

The organized chaos blocks everyone’s vision
The particles disappear when they touch us
No one knows when the invasion will end

Hours pass by and people go to sleep
Everything gets blanketed by a white sheet
As the snow illuminates the night.
