3 Short Verses about the Weather

RAIN
When it arrives everything is seen
as if through a screen--soft sounds,
soft visions, soft thoughts.
*******
SLEET
Frozen raindrops,
not quite snow, not quite rain;
At what moment in its journey down
did it change its mind?
*******
SNOW
At last all things lie concealed:
Icy angels descend dreamily.
Everything within sight is rounded,
blunted, veiled, waiting.
