And So the Snow

AND SO THE SNOW And so the snow Continues to blow The wind It's driving force The hills, once brown with sand Took on a new face today White until the barest rocks Almost did not exhist Then the sun did come out The temp twenty at it's height Nothing happened all was still The mountain cold and white Ten days went by, the Holidays passed All was beautyful to behold Ten inches of snow but it took help Before I got to go My readings done My groceries bought I breathed a sigh And went back home That night on the TV The weather man did grin Ducked his head, cleared his throat And then he did begin "An arctic front is coming in Lots of snow and dangerous wind" And so I ordered more propane, gritted my teeth "Here we go again" The build up of snow like last time This time never came The snow did come but before it built The wind had then stepped in The number of inches was hard to guess But the drifts began to grow, I watched the ghosts swirl and sway And dance among the rocks all day Day one, day two, the beginning of three The sun does have a scheen And as like the day before It's the wind predicts the scene As the sun begins to think of rest It high lights the bare ridges And the shadows of the drifts Has not the ghosts hidden I went to Church today And had ease of mind I no longer feared the ice and snow I just sprinkled salt where I wanted to go Cile Beer
