Snow in Aarhus

Fascinating snow; American Dream, mobility

Snow in Aarhus

The soft

Snowflakes

Falling down

Like cotton balls,

Being tossed away,

By some invisible hands,

From a white sky,

Dispersing fast,

Like kids returning

From school,

Happy feet pattering,

On the ground,

With a sense of release;

The drifting flakes,

Tiny and cute,

Wandering  in the crisp air,

Vagabond-like,

Searching a suitable landing-place,

Scattering everywhere around,

In a gentle constant stream,

On the grey courtyards,

Red-bricked buildings,

With shuttered windows,

 Trimmed hedges around,

And decorating the solitary urban-scape

With  a soothing touch of

Virgin white!

The entire scene

A magical country,

Transmitting a feeling of peace

And wonderment,

To an international student,

Who has never seen such

A mesmerizing sight,

In real life,

On a Sunday afternoon,

Again---

Buried in his management books,

Chasing distant American Dream,

Now---globalized in its reach,

Like their Big Mac and Disneyland.
