Though almost imperceptibly. The snow was falling steadily, <br />unruffled by the slightest breeze. To coat the branches of the trees, <br />with layers of the purest white, which sparkle in the pale moonlight. <br />The contrast pleasing to my eyes. Beneath the trees a blanket lies <br />as yet a flimsy covering which is slowly thickening. <br />The snow continues relentlessly but quietly and stealthily. <br />The winter will remorselessly alter existing scenery. <br />Cover the faults and flaws with snow, assisted by the winds which blow. <br />When night departs and morning breaks, spread far and wide the fallen flakes. <br />Until the world appears to be as far as human eye can see. <br />A pristine expanse of pure white: a truly awe inspiring sight. <br />Which waits to greet us when we rise, a sight too bright for human eyes. <br /> <br />26-Nov-08<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/winter-night-for-friend-hunter/
