One Perfect Snowflake

A few short weeks ago

The sun was still hot and bright.

So warm, it was as if summer were still here.

But today the October sky is dark.

The clouds are a solid sheet of grey

And as fall settles in

The sky sends a gift,

One perfect snowflake.

The gracing of it's glide as it falls from the sky. For in the months ahead we shall applaud their lie. Virgin verse Francine >> James
