I wish for snow.

A deep
Quiet.

That Down comforter blemish-free,
Resting on hibernating
Sequoia  Gigantua--
Settling
on Winter Green
Boughs, those
Yawning Limbs catching
Whispering flakes--
"Soothe, Shhhh"

A snow throw
Tucking in Crocus &
Grasses,
Gladiola & Tulip,
Magnolia buds secreted away
Under bark cover.

Cherry blossoms
In fitful Slumber--
A Spring gathering--
Snug as a bug kisses
Wrapped in guaranteed
Rejuvenation.
