Author notes

Sit back, close your eyes.... and ponder this one a minute........ you'll hear it... you'll feel it - it's there.... the sound of snow snowing........ in stillness.... in silence.

If you ever noticed..... when it snows there is a kind of stillness.... a sound of stillness which is absolute silence in a way. I stood outside last night as it snowed us in.... listening... and what I heard is best described by the word "stillnss".... I heard it with my ears... I sensed it with my being........... delicate, silent.... a city in quietude.... suddenly no cars.... it was a blanket of white that stalled the cities cacaphony, for once, to silence. ahhhhhh... for a moment... I felt peace in my heart.

    lovely

    wow...beautifully done, MB...I do miss the "sound of snow" being here in the tropics, but I do remember the feeling of seeing it and hearing absolute silence....Matter of fact I wrote a couple poems this morning, as well, inspired by a friend who lives in the Northwest and was describing the snow falling in his backyard.
