Snowflake


On powdered crystal wings Heaven descends to humbled Earth
Sparkling glimpses of jewelled treasures to some elegant worth
Pure, immaculate white no matter the depth to coming twilight
Billowing through myriads of veils, all fingerprints in first flight

She now dares to fall where she must, from dream in flutter
Dancing delicately...Swirling...Twirling into suddenly crisp hover
Shifted...Swayed...She enthralls my leaping, dizzying fascination
Like no other before, I marvel as she defies hurling gravitation

Intricate kaleidoscope of spirals linked and apart
Glittering feather like you float to repose my heart
Scintillating fragile, beauteous rays, my Dear always
Imparting uniqueness my touch never in time betrays

Hello Gilles, I enjoy the first snowfall. It makes the ground beautiful. I like the way the snowflakes covers the trees giving it warmth. Gilles enjoy your day my friend, /Darlene/.

Such heart warming kindness Constance. I've read but a grain of your mountain chain of art. Can't wait to collect enough to make a sandcastle. Keep giving so much, Gilles
