As Snow Falls
Gentle flakes dance gracefully to the ground
Each one made with perfectly unique crystals
They blow and swirl, going around and around
Until reaching their destination, frosting the world below
As snow falls during the brisk cold of winter
It is beautiful and alive, lasting for a period of time
Just like a fire that we can add to tinder
But in time, the flame will always burn out
We fall like snowflakes, each one of us set apart
Alive as we take our journey, creating meaning in our existence
The shortness of life is what motivates our hearts
To strive for greatness, to make our marks
And then we melt, to fade away into time
The cosmic carousel of the universe moving forward
The seasons change and move us past our prime
Until the new snow falls in the next yearly cycle
