gentle growing snowfall
evergreens heavy-laden
and bearing the weight
with such ease
all the fields
that will soon be
corn and soybeans
wheat and wildflowers
prepared for planting

flowers that will bloom

and I look again
at the trees
and some years
were hard and also
the new growth
in today’s sun
and they are beautiful
