Winter Snow

These are the words to a song I heard sung; it makes a nice poem, but it is even more beautiful as a song.

Winter Snow

Could've come like a mighty storm

with all the strength of a hurricane

You could've come like a forest fire

with the power of heaven in your flame

But you came like a winter snow

quiet and soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

to the earth below

Could've swept in like a tidal wave

or an ocean to ravish our hearts

You could have come through like a roaring flood

to wipe away the things we've scarred

But you came like a winter snow

quiet and soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

to the earth below

No, your voice wasn't in a bush burning

No, your voice wasn't in a rushing wind

It was still, it was small, it was hidden

You came like a winter snow

quiet and soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

to the earth below
