The falling of Snow

Snow

Cascading onto the world

Falling down

Covering the world in a thin sheet of white 

Muffling the everlasting chaos of this busy world

The snow brings calm within its sheet of white

Making the world pause 

and turn our heads up to the sky 

To see the snow falling down

[John the Baptist]

This is a very nice brief piece that conveys a mood very well. The poet skillfully uses the imagery of snow as a protective sheet that muffles the world's chaos, and anyone who has watched snow gently covering a landscape can attest to the image's accuracy. Again, the poet suggests that snow brings a calm that makes the world pause "and turn our heads up to the sky" to see the snow fall. This physical looking up is a symbol of the spiritual "I will lift up mine eyes" that heals. Makes me almost wish for January. Good work here.
