First Snow
It covers the gray drab world
In a blanket of pure white
A blank tapestry unfurled
Bringing a hush to each night
Each crystalline, frosty flake
Falls like an answered prayer
Covering the sins we make
With each forgiving layer
Hidden from our ready view
The fear, scars and dirt below
Looking on a world anew
Life reflected in the show
Frozen love like angel’s tears
Floating down from sky above
The first fallen snow this year
Covers my world in love

That is a beautiful picture your words painted! It felt warming even though you were talking about snow!
So beautiful!
Thank you kindly! Happy Holidays!
STUNNING.
I’ve been reading winter poems and this one is T H E most beautifully worded and exceptionally well written one.
“Covering the sins we make
With each forgiving layer”
“Frozen love like angel’s tears
Floating down from sky above
The first fallen snow this year
Covers my world in love”
“Looking on a world anew
Life reflected in the show”
I absolutely loved it. The words you’ve choosen to weave this breathtakingly beautiful imagery is phenomenal.
Snow as an angel’s frozen tears that covers our sins and reflects life? God, how did you come up with such a brilliant metaphor and word it so perfectly?
I loveddd ittt!

Thank you for your kind words, Megha! I appreciate your taking the time to comment and I am thrilled you enjoyed the poem! I don’t fully understand my own writing process well enough to say where the words come from. Sometimes they come easily, sometimes they are hard, and sometimes they don’t come at all. I was lucky that this came fairly easy and even luckier it connected with people like you! Thanks again! ❤❤❤
there is something magical about the first snow of the year – reminds me of my childhood…
There are some people who live their entire lives and never experience snow. Can’t even imagine that.
that is hard to imagine!
Very pretty
