I love the sounds of new fallen snow
Everything is quiet until
You hear your feet crunching
You stop walking and the silence is back
The snow has put a cushion of quiet
Over everything until
Squirrels scamper and their bushy tails
Make a brushing sound across the snow
A family of racoons moves one behind the other
Making a pat, pat, pat sound as they march in line
Toward the next best place to play in the snow
The snowflakes blow through the air
Given a lift by the wind circling through the trees
They look like cotton candy sugar before it is spun
Listen for yourself, go for a walk in the woods
The new snow will reveal its sounds to you, too
