Goosefeather Snow
By Liz Splittgerber
Slow at first
Freely falling
Lighter than air
Cartwheeling down
Chilled to the bone
Arctic wind blowing
Soft to the touch
Goosefeather snow
Mint green bamboo
Listing and swaying
Freshly dusted
Standing alone
Grace and beauty
Each other greeting
On midwinter’s day
New wonders abound
