That Wonderful Snow

I'm not a rock
nor an island
I cannot
stand alone

Words of a song
Paul Simon wrote
my mind
and heart did hone

His freshly fallen
silent shroud of snow
showed a special purity
yet of this I've always known

Still when I hear these words he wrote
a picture comes to me
perfectly white and undisturbed
as beautiful as can be

The dirt of our world
hidden from sight
although for just a short time
we forget the blight

We've seen enough of the hate
way too much of the killing
we need a snow storm of kindness
it's so much more fulfilling

“Kindness is like snow,
it beautifies everything
it covers”
~~~Khalil Gibran~~~
