SNOWFALL

It started as a dusting
Now a blanket on the ground
Quietly out of the sky
It fell without a sound. 

The twinkling, the glimmering
Each flake unlike the others 
Perfectly, intentionally
They fell upon another. 

The crisp night air upon my face
So refreshing, invigorating
The crunch I felt beneath my boots
Amusingly stimulating.

One foot high , maybe two
Exceeding the forecast
We’re off to meet the challenge now
I knew we’d have a blast!

Agreed to meet at 12 a.m.
A midnight rendezvous
The night was still, the wind died down
We brought our inner tubes.

Up the hill, we made our way 
The moon a natural light
A running start, then off we go
Our tubes would soon take flight.

The chill , the thrill … just can’ t compare 
Was a night we won’t forget.
We headed home at 2 a.m. 
With cheeks …. a rosy red.
