winter’s snow

snowflake

melts

in

my

hand

disappearing like a dream

and turning into tears

drops

hitting

the

ground

and uniting with the soft snow

I look up at the sky

dark

clouds

heavy

above

my head

I stare and notice more snow falling down

in the shape of heavenly snowflakes

miraculous

on

their

own

formed and sculptured in the shape of

perfectly

designed

stars

twisting and whirling themselves

in the white galaxy

of crystal ice
