Morning Snow
by Bruce McMillan

7:00 am, it's barely light,
the sun is shy, still rising up,
blocking it's dawn, one solid cloud,
gray sky heavy, so full of snow;
falling flakes, light dancing in air,
clinging white lines defining trees, 
As this gray cloud lets loose it's weight,
it floats higher up, leaving in sight.
