what is the central Idea behind the poem The dust of snow

Dear Student,

The central idea of the poem 'Dust of Snow' is that a small act of kindness can remove negativity from one's life and enlighten life with positivity. Even a little good thing done never gets wasted, it brings good change in one's life. Nothing in this world is bad or negative. Everything created by god has its own significance. The things which we think as bad can bring good changes. The poet shows this through the crow, the hemlock tree and the dust of snow. The dust of snow stands in stark contrast to the negative vibes of the hemlock tree and the crow; it brings optimism in the poet's life.
