A tease is all that unexpectedly fell on an earlier occasion
‘Twas not yet winter, so that it graced the ground, a blessing
The higher elevations have since received measurable amounts
Trying not to be jealous, rather zealous it would soon make its way
Finally! The weather reported, we’re anticipating snow
Just enough here, yes, not too much
Sitting by the window on a day when the temperatures would not indicate its approach
One sits, anticipating snow
Rain, rain, more rain falls – again teasing one in waiting
Suddenly, suddenly, it happens – snow mixes with the pouring rain
Moments later, it appears out the window: winter being ushered in
Oh, the joy, anticipating snow and seeing it fall
Thick white flakes flying violently through the air, quickly beginning to cover things on ground level
Anticipate no more!
Beautiful snow has arrived across the foothills of Eastern Tennessee
