Snow is drifting silently from the sky
Leaving us a delicate, yet beautiful frosting on the ground
Snow capped roofs, where birds return from their multiple fly
Checking in on their surroundings
Watching over their loved ones
It’s not officially winter yet
I’m thoroughly enjoying the sights and sounds
Even through this pandemic
I can detect smiles through the squinting of the eyes
Behind the protective masks
Homeless people seem to have multiplied
Their hands jutting out for any possible gifting
A few coins here and there
As I watch them shifting in the snow.
My wish to one and all
Is peace, joy and laughter
Kindness and smiles are good for now
It’s love that we’re all after
