From Sky

It starts off high up in the sky formed amidst clouds all inky frozen solid in flakes all spiky This frozen water falling slowly some of it all wet and trickily slowly it hardens so thirstily More spikes come together growing whiter and larger shaping into a frosty layer Star like now it spirals wildly pausing a moment briefly as it settles so blithely Amidst a fluffy blanket for all a shining trinket laid in a white casket And so the story is finished with a flake so cherished until oh so slowly it vanished Always be true to yourself
