Melting Snow

All our snow is melting. A week after our big snowstorm, things have warmed up. With the rising temperature comes wet snow piles, messy slush, and mud. Some people think it's just nasty and ugly. But if you can find the right spot, the perfect view, things don't look so bad. Sometimes there is beauty in the most unlikely of places.

Melting Snow

Where does it go, the melting snow?

Back into the Earth

To feed the trees and animals

And sew the seeds of birth

Where does it go, the melting snow?

Back into the sky

To float around above our heads

And fall like tears we cry

Where does it go, the melting snow?

Back into our hearts

As memories of yesterday

Resting where it starts
