It was strange seeing snow

For a summer day, I expected rain to flow

Or the sun to shine

I wondered if something wasn’t quite fine

Up in the heavens above

Did Persephone leave Demeter too early

Or did the Christian god choose to remind us of purity

What god was responsible, if any was

Did the ice particles science talks about not melt despite what summer demands

Did we sleep in for a month or two

Did the snow ignore all instructions and came down anyway

Would it last only a day or would it continue into tomorrow too?
