In a Snowflake
Breathless sighs, soft
Dreams awakened, stirred
To life by smokey gasps, air
Cutting, biting… bitter
Blustery cold, like the heart
After a dismal divorce
From someone who knows
Every sorrow, each fear…
All the dreams forbidden,
Like the silence of the dawn
Who is blanketed by white, snow
Falling overnight, reminding
Each puffing prayer that there is
Gusting winds of change,
Laughing through the flakes
In quiet waves of inspiration, soothing
Away the melancholic fright
As night is erased by a sun reflecting
Flurries raging between the pages
Day and night – the moments
Connecting silence and sound,
Stormy weather and the moon’s
Shimmering pleasures, singing
Music in notes of turbulent
Relenting into the breathlessness
Raging, furious storms
Relinquishing the silence
Through the explosion of a blizzard
Who reminds us all…
Historically, we’re all merely
Fragments, dust – a snowflake
Melting beneath the warmth of the Son
