Waiting for the First Snowflakes

 I am not a fan of snow or winter time, but, non-the-less, there is something intriguing about the first flakes of snow.


               The light wind
                     made the night
                           seem colder,
                But, at least, it
                      asked for forgiveness
                            by playing a tune
                 on the wind chimes
                       hanging outside my
                             living room window.
                 Most of the crops
                       from the garden
                             had been gathered
                  So now all we could do
                       was wait for the first
                              flakes of snow to fall.
