Among the Snowflakes

On the snowflakes falling to the ground are

Crystalline petals, smooth and cold.

I know, deep within, we're just like them.

So cold, pure, and beautiful but I know

We'll melt and lose our charm in the heat.

Is this why we tend to go numb?

Avoid the heat of anger and the icy chill of pain -

Come with me to winter white and twirl upon the hills

With snowflakes falling gently down around you.

Then close your eyes and think and know

That to be a snowflake is truly something,

And to sing and dance among them is just as great.
