the snow in autumn

the snow
stands out bright
against the yawning
gray clouds
today

nature’s fingers
brush light
ly
the cracked concrete
hardly softened

the brittle
leaves
lie still
revering
silent beauty

the air
carry
ing
manna
unsung
to grace
the ground

thus you are
to me on
this your
birthday

unmatched
in flyover
sky

a visitation
of one
precious
broken
angel
more radiant for the breaking



………………………………….


the snow in autumn
a poem by troy cady
for heather on your birthday
