SNOWFLAKE

I had been out for an early walk
To admire the snow filled park
When I felt a snowflake on my nose
A speck of light in this country of dark.
I looked up in the sky
And opened my hands to grope for more falling snow
The little girls in the park ran home
With their nannies in tow.
I stood there savouring the feel
A touch of snow on my face
I thanked the lord for this moment of peace
It had helped me step away from the world’s hectic pace.
