Exceptional The Spirit of Nature & Earth, reflecting on snow. When I snow, I remember by Me and Erin G

When I snow, I remember Yet I snow to forget Snow is my masquerade, an indulgence  to drift, to reminisce     Oh how beautiful I once was when unencumbered, unblemished by evolution, by progress, by man            I had no parking lots.      There were no battlefields, no trenches,      There was no Antietam or Nanjing or Auschwitz           I had meadows, green and lush           Streams, flowing and flush           And trees, majestic and plush     Snow is my promise, my sprinkle of hope, Snow is my blanket of glistening glaze, Snow is my sparkle A flurry of flakes, whitewashing my regret. Recognized Author Notes A friend asked me if I could write a poem on the spot. "I can come up with the bones, the embryo, yes. But typically I need a bit of time to mold it into a poem I am satisfied with." He said "write about a snowfall and how it makes one reflect on life." These are the reflections from the point of view of Mother Nature/Mother Earth.
