The quiet comes before I see
the pale veil drifting down,
soft whispers from a muted sky
that hush the bustling town.
Each flake a fleeting lantern,
a shimmer in the cold,
carrying winter’s secret breath
in stories still untold.
The world turns pearl and silver,
the air grows crisp and slow—
and every step feels new again
beneath the first soft snow.
Thank-you for reading.
Remember there are many paths back to God.
Follow your own path,

You’re welcome, Brenda. 😊
Brenda, this is simply breathtaking. You have a true gift for capturing a moment’s quiet magic. The image of snow as a “pale veil” and “fleeting lanterns” is so original and beautiful, transforming a simple weather change into a delicate, silent story. You made me feel the hush, the crisp air, and the wonder of seeing the world turn “pearl and silver.” Thank you for sharing this lovely piece of poetry — it’s a perfect winter treasure.🌷🤝
