Snowflakes, like whispered secrets,
Descend upon the world with silent grace.
Each flake, a tiny marvel of crystalline geometry,
Piling up in gentle heaps, transforming
The mundane into a monochrome wonderland.
In contrast,
Rain arrives with a symphony,
A rhythmic patter on roofs and windows,
A relentless drummer in the great concert of nature.
Raindrops, each one a tiny lens,
Magnify the world in transient clarity,
Pooling in puddles that reflect the sky's melancholic hue.
Snow, the artist of stillness,
Wraps the world in a muffled tranquillity,
Inviting contemplation and serenity.
It blankets the earth in purity,
A pause button pressed on the chaos of life.
Rain, the poet of motion,
Writes in streams and rivers,
Its verse flowing, ebbing, relentless.
It cleanses the streets, the leaves, the soul,
Washing away the remnants of the past.
Yet, Snow and Rain, adversaries and allies,
Meet in a delicate dance.
A snowfall turns to slush with
Rain's embrace,
A drizzle turns to sleet with
Snow's kiss.
Their interplay, a testament to the delicate balance,
A ballet of opposites, forever intertwined.
Snow, a blanket for dreams,
Rain, a canvas for emotions
Together they paint the seasons,
One whispering, the other singing,
Both timeless, eternal,
The breath of the Earth,
The pulse of the sky.
I awoke to a snow covered view this morning which is forecast to be followed closely by rain - this tries to also show the in between bit.
