The Winter storm has abated
leaving behind feet of snow in places
rain falling now like bits of ice
not penetrating enough to cause
much needed melt
yet the tiny nuthatches and sparrows
are not minding as they leave
tiny footprints across snowy white
landscape
where some blades of green grass show
left from snow shovels pushed forward
to leave room for small canines
who might disappear from view
yet melt increases in equal measure
with the depth of snow left deep
flood watch will soon ensue
whilst rivers rise as Nature’s
gateway to the sea
