snow 5 January 2025

 SNOW


Silent snow, slow snow

slushing, shimmering snow

branches etched in fine snow

falling now, again from

ink grey skies touched with rose

driving snow does not penetrate

the avenue of trees, 

but it falls from heavy branches

high high above my head.

footprints bring memories

from 60 years ago 

the first snow falls, crunching

shouting, echoing in the valley

where we sledged full speed

down the hillside

and here today so many years have passed

my life is short now the dye is caste
