Snow in the Air
by Raymond A. Foss

Snow in the air
long before the first flakes
started their long fall from the heavens
snow in the feel, the smell,
the texture of the air
feeling the falling barometer
the shift in the weather
Falling lightly at first, while
I stood ...
mesmerized, watching
their dance downward
...the excitement, the joy
at the first real snowfall
Accumulating white, flake by flake
on the ground,
still quiet snow, light and airy
a film of white, cell by cell
cleaning the world
in white
