Snow............

Snow, pure white.....magical, transforming the earth.
As yet unblemished by our touch.
Like angels wings...... it tries to do its part to make the ground more hallowed and renew it.
Each year it tries again to cleanse us and to remake this place we have sullied.
Each year it is defeated .......but every year it tries once more to cover us with it's pureness.
It lets us see what pure can be.
Crisp and beautiful.......... a magical place twinkling with  crystal beauty.
Changing shape and contours, covering death and decay, making all things new.
