Drifting from a sullen sky come fluffy crystals soft and light
on enchanted land of Permian red accented by showy gypsum
beds.
They flutter down so quietly adding to the scenery
sporting a blanket of pure white snow on thirsty fields of grassy
gold.
The ample moisture is a pleasing sight and to Red Hills
ranchers pure delight,
a welcomed winter present yielding later great forage
benefits.
As spring returns and takes a drink from water laden soils below
the landscape will respond with green and display a quite
colorful show.
We relish this beautiful, natural present as we watch it
fall in such calming essence
reminding us of nature’s glory sometimes coming as raucous
story.
But today it arrives with comforting grace floating down in frozen state
and feeds the streams of this hilly land as well as soul of
beasts and humans.
