First Snow

Each year,
For billions,
It must seem strange:

The translucent dust
That rims the ponds
And frosts the forest's edge.

And yet, from great heights
To deep swales,
We receive the bounty
And the blessing,
And the reminder
That we all fall
Slowly
Uniquely

Into
And out of
Being.

--Mr. Gobley
