Snow slips silently
Out of the mountains at dusk
Swirling onto the valley floor
Shrouding aspens and cottonwoods
Hugging a sluggish slate gray river.
Great Blue Heron stalks the shoreline
Patient, Present
Stillness within the storm.

Beautiful! Did you write this?
Yes, I did!
It came to me almost line by line and I changed a few words later, but I was given this gift of a poem to share just by being out in the elements, and by being open to them.
Thank you so much, Harsimrit, and I hope you will have a wonderful, safe and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving.
