Dust of Snow
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
- Robert Frost
Let's pause for prayer...
Everyone's complaining 'bout the weather, Lord:
too much snow, too much ice,
too much snow, too much ice,
too much wind and cold!
In the midst of it all
(and the trouble it brings)
send just one bird to bless me,
with a dusting of snow to remind me:
it's yours, O Lord, and it will melt
and water the earth to birth the spring
with shade trees, sun and flowers
- and promise of the summer's fruit...
In the midst of it all,
send a messenger, Lord,
to touch my heart,
to change my mood and save me
lest I rue the power, the beauty, the grace
in every flake that falls
in winter's snow...
Amen.
