Small Things

Snow falls
     pianissimo
melts to pointillism
on my foggy window.

I wonder at how
it gathers in the crevices
of fences and trees
like hair growth.

The way it splats,
like a fresh cracked
egg yoke
     crescendo.

The way it leapfrogs 
like children in a row
as joy explodes 
       fortissimo.

I’m not that special.

These are but 
a few frosty moments stole
            diminuendo.

brilliant K; love the quote too and the structure of the piece; this is NOT lazy writing 🙂 stanzas #3 & #4 are so clever: they surprise —
