Poem
Snow Flake And Mountain A snow flake came down, in turns, in twists, in blizzard company Never lands, captured in an updraft, lifts up with other plans A mountain positioned for a collision with the flake Seemed tall enough to follow the movement of the thing Aging in good time, conversant in snow and what it takes Also knowledgeable in smaller matters, practicing due diligence Waited, as mountains are apt to do, in these conditions To receive the snow form with all its molecules Take it to a final resting place along the lower face Crystal flake continued though, on a sojourn to the sun Still clinging to the upward draft Not knowing what the sun might do to it The snow floated, transforming into water It drew closer to the warmth, to the point of vapor But in a miracle of ice and cold, it fell or floated down It drifted back to earth and hugged the mountain Thanked it for a friendly wind and place to get some shade Snow flake gathered whiteness on this little break Came back to proper form From the crystal core And went on floating ever down for ever more It would never reach the bottom The mountain saw to that It kept the snow flake by its side above the tundra line Near a full grown pine tree whistling through the needles Singing sweet lullabies of winter and storms gone by Snow crystal glides in cozy circles about the pine
