Rain on Deep Snow

I want to talk about rain on deep snow.

It's time for warmer weather to move in. And that means rain instead of snow. We've had a lot of snow this year and there is still a lot of snow on the ground.

It's raining now. That clean bright surface is being eaten away. When it was fresh the surface would move around, pushed by the wind. Always changing. Always new. But now, it's being made to look old and worn out. But not old and worn out as if full of wisdom, or old and worn out as if a witness to eons. Just old. Just worn out.

Rain on deep snow seems sadder somehow. I think it's because it will take so long for the ground to show again. And that first glimpse of the ground we haven't seen for so long is, of course, the anticipation of spring. We're all a little impatient.

Also, Rain on Deep Snow would be a great name for a band.
