First Snowfall's Anticipation

Tiny particles forming high
Falling slowly from the sky
Taking shapes in all sizes
Clearing thoughts of demise

White speckles gliding freely
Covers all ever sweetly
Glistening silence surrounds us all
Running frantic through the hall

Grab your coat! shouts a voice
You're outside with this choice
Heartbeats pound once you're there
Undaunted cold you can bear

Falling backwards on the ground
With a thump makes this sound
Flailing arms with sweet embrace
Angels form within this place

Looking back to this glorious day
When the snow has come from far away
Children danced and played till night
Through these eyes what sweet delight
