Snow Blessings (The Brevity of Sanctity)
The Brevity of Sanctity
(Snow Blessings)
Someday I will face my sins
That done and undone
But for now the snow has crept in under the cover of night
The next morning the earth lies blanketed white.
My conscience now unpricked by
The lawn’s last cutting undone
The dead flowers I should have trimmed
The fencerow I should have painted
The sidewalk I should have swept
All’s now cloaked in a heavenly glow.
