Snowflakes
drag sound out of the air
as they fall leaving a world
of quiet. Sound freezes
into snow drifts
as color coalesces to white
like a reverse prism.
(light and sound
return to the origin
of simplicity)
In the spring thaw
the snow releases
droplets of rainbow light
as water seeps deep
to awakening roots and
the sleepy chirps
and rustles fly into the air
like robin song

Thanks, Grace. Winter is so quiet, it seemed to me the sounds must be caught in the snow. :)

I liked the idea that snow holds sounds and colors and springtime releases them. Thanks so much.
