Temporary Beautiful

x

I don’t know

We walk in snow today

If we want to

It fell when nighttime degrees

Encountered would-be rain

x

There is wind

To keep it down

For a while

Though the temperatures

Won’t keep it long

x

Without worry,

We can hear the muffled sounds

Or spring and morning

Watch the white

Most of which will disappear

Before it’s trodden

Everywhere

x

No slush

No pushing it

This way or that

Simply have it

Behold the art

That won’t outlast the Grecian urn

Except by hours

Give credit to

The artist of the

Temporary beautiful
