Patterns of snow❄️

Oh silent snowflake 
gently meandering to Earth
Not knowing when to cease
Nor to begin for what it’s worth

A whiteout of powdery snow
Feather-like crystals so unique
Symmetry, hexagonal shapes
A varied vision of mystique

A waft of calmness fills the air
the lull before the storm ?
Then snowflakes so delicate,
Their appearance everywhere

Gelling together you carpet 
Everything below
Producing the perfect festive portrait on the Christmas cards
we know

Wafting from the whisking winds
Momentum gathers velocity
Acceleration so hard it blinds
Pounding down with sheer ferocity

Unwanted depths of drifting snow
Amasses byroads & countrylanes
As the rhymatical tempo of the snow does wax & wane

Snow ploughs labour thru the night
Trying to minimise disruption
Motorists stumble on random snowdrifts causing an impassable obstruction

How beautiful the falling snow
Scenic sights with children’s thrill
Alas, mankind strives to cope
Causing travel to stand still
