"The Graceful Season" A poem.

     Here is a poem I wrote many years back. I really love winter, and this poem is one I think of every year. It captures what spiritual significance snow has to me. I feel like it's God's grace and mercy covering us, no matter what.. it always comes. It comes again when we make a mess of everything, He just keeps covering us over again and again. I think I really need to hear Him tell me I am clean white and pure. I really feel distant and dirty right now actually. God Help me know your truth this Graceful Season!

This Graceful Season

It's all right,
the ground is all white, once more...
it's finally snowing,
just what I've been waiting for...

Oh just a little bit
not too much of it
just enough, to keep it all white

these words send applause
i love it because:

everything's right...
everything's white, clean and pure.


Such fun and beautiful fluff
could be significant stuff
i enjoy it more every year

when it covers the ground
without making a sound
i feel such peace in the air

with time it starts to get brown
but then more will come down
covering it over again

then i will applause
i love it because:

when everything's white...
everything's right, clean and pure
