Simplocity appeals to me for M lady Catrina

All I can see from my window.
A vast expanse of fallen snow,
Unmarked as yet by wheel or feet
As perfect as a laundered sheet.

Reflecting back the pale moonlight
in shades of silver blue and white.
This will not last it cannot do
it will marred by tyre and shoe.

At first light when the morning breaks
and all the sleeping world awakes
To make their way reluctantly
to office shop and factory.

Although the falling snow has stopped
the temperature still has not dropped
The snow will turn from white to gray
and very slowly melt away

Just for tonight the pristine white
will satisfy my appetite
for unadorned simplicity
There’s beauty in austerity.
