Premiere Contest WinnerMelting Thoughts

The snowflakes, white and pure, they ballet in
       Like newborn thoughts that surface from within,
we would be wise to treat them tenderly -
         just one harsh influence, they cease to be.

And we know not what will become of them.
          They wander, yet inside their havens stay
Some find their way and rest upon firm ground,
            misled, a few by winds are blown away.

The boots of fate come trampling in on that
         which envy, fear and hate already taint.
They fragment those whose flawless structured mat
        has glazed itself in nature’s silver paint.

Exagoni, pristine, stay free of fear
   though their impending fate remains unclear.
Likewise true thoughts prevail, preserved inside,
    though they may be witness to Evil’s tide.
