Yes! I know it was not much – and we have not have a lot this year – and many of us are very happy this way…
Yet I……child of the Great Lakes……miss the snows of winter.
When I awoke this morning to a slight blanket of white – I immediately needed to go out into it, feel the flakes upon my face, walk in the softness of the air….and write…and record…this for you – and me!
Snow Song
Oh there is our beautiful blanket of snow!
Graceful and falling and just letting go –
A winter of dry, gray-brown barren sod gently sleeps,
slips away underneath winter’s soft downy sheets.
A freshness, a cleanness, a healing of time,
but oh, what a blessing from sweet Mother earth
when she heals and covers all that brown dirt –
wipes away all the scars of dead, dying things
to bring us new life with the rising of spring!
Sleep softly and gently deep earth in its cares
Mother is tending and healing our fears
cooling and soothing our souls with her tears,
Soft drops of heaven in gentle snowflakes…
