When White Snows Start Thawing Anytime Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

White snows are greatly and Really lovely when on mountains, When on wide plains, or Anywhere and everywhere, but Not when they start thawing Turning into pure water Anywhere and everywhere Inside those serpentine creeks and Rivers... They take some time To stay with us, but Not for ever and ever... We really enjoy their lovely whiteness, but Nothing remains endlessly... The pretty sun does its pretty work To heat up those lovely snows Turning them into water that Crosses endlessly in creeks and In rivers for as it takes to stay Until another snowfall happens Later on... We see a lot of things in nature That come and go like That pretty game which We used to play and which was called 'Hide-and-seek'... The whole life goes like this and White snows do the same... ______________________________________________________________________
