A Hushing Fall

“A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air…whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere.”

― Nathaniel Hawthorne

The soft silence of snow,

the morning’s crisp cold,

the hushing fall of so many

tiny, crystal worlds cocooning

us into a long-needed pause,

and I welcome the suspended calm.
