Falling Doves

Have you ever noticed how
The first snow of the season
Is so peaceful?
It makes everyone just look around
And smile
Snow is a magical thing
It makes people realise there's still good
Evil doesn't always triumph
Kids run outside to make angels
Or have a snowball fight
Or go sledding down the steepest hill
Teens go back to being young
Being amazed that the world
Can be so white and clean
Adults go back to childhood
Remanice in the memories
Of a forgotten yesterday
When I look at the first snow
I sometimes don't think at all
Or maybe I just can't think of anything
Except how peaceful it all looks
I think about how the world
Looks... just perfect
Like someone mighty sprinkled
Powdered sugar over a town of porcelein
People do only good
And the world is nice
For one night
For that first snow of the season
