Snowflakes Poem by Francois Hoon

Commenced the night with uneasy cold
That threatening winter wanting to take hold
Lightening crashed and trunks were thrashed
The force of night wreaking its spite
All hail broke loose and nature were pained,
That fight in the night when violence rained

Silence drew near and morphed the mood
Suddenly gentle, something else brood
All the trees again breathed and uttered relieved,
As nature inhaled, in silence await…

A deer looked up and sniffed the air,
An aroma sweet, scented so fair
A petal fell down and rested on his frown,
Whilst silently he strode, through thicket seeking road

The night grew still, the forest suspensed
The air held a promise, something sweet be commenced

Then, trickling down, spiraling down
A snowflake floated, hovering down
First one, then two, then three followed thee
It weren’t so long then the skies filled with glee

The treetops stretched, striving to be freshed
As the heavens came down with whitesilver grace

The forest were freed and frolicked and indeed
Brought about that adored divinely accord

The snowflakes came, for two nights just
Warming the skies, that cold winter crust
Though the winter had begun, the forest sung
Cause for two nights just, in the air…
Love hung
