Awaiting Snow

Prelude:It was December 2nd, I think, the gates of sky suddenly opened to let out a fresh burst of snow. Unexpected, since it was Fall and squirrels were still collecting their food for winter. Everyone looked up in amazement, as the city was painted white for a day. I think, God, the driver of a tanker full of white paint, was cruising through the sky, when he saw a beautiful angel/apsara. He lost contol and crashed into the gates of sky, spilling white paint all over the earth... A decent expanation to the sudden outburst of snow. It has been 3 months since then... there have been just a few flurries but no snow... Sad, but true. Same time last year, the city was covered in a thick blanket..
I know the snow is irritating. You have to clean the driveway, it is spine-chilling cold the day after snow, there is slush everywhere, the snow freezes and it's slippery. It's actually a Pain, but it's beautiful. A beautiful pain(t)!!!!!

Awaiting Snow

I watch from the window of my home
Bare branches have kissed their leaves goodbye
Spread like veins through the sky
Await for the soft touch of snow

The clouds have been coughing a few flakes
They may soon spit-up a blizzard of snow
The naked earth craves for a white blanket
Awaits for the soft touch of snow...

The glass of my window has frozen
Mist hanging like sweat on a hot summer day
Touching the spine chilling window glass
I await for the soft touch of snow...
