Snowflake


I imagined being a snowflake,
different than all the others
So small, but no more important than anyone
Falling, falling, slowly in the air
with a relief in knowing there's no reason to compare
I have my own beauty, no more special than another
Just equal, with all the other beautiful snowflakes,
coming from the sky above
Together, we land in the comfort of blanketing the ground
Together, we present a stunning winter landscape
Sparkling in the sun brighter than anything to be seen
We are the warmth of light on a cold day
Together we are different but the same, we are one

I guess you're only a month or so away from snowflakes up there in NH, (as I recall, anyway). I'm hoping that Chicago can hold out til at least Thanksgiving this year, if not Christmas... We'll see what happens. :) gw

Oh my goodnesszzz this is probably the sweetest poem I've read in a long whileeeee! So calming! So soothing! And so soulful! Dear Heidi, this is absolutely a FAVE for me ~ I can't get over the imagery of the snowflake.. being equally beautiful as the others and falling with its own uniqueness.. in the bliss of eternity.. "We are the warmth of light on a cold day Together we are different but the same, we are one" So heartwarming! And heart-touching! Love this a lot! Truly adorable ❄️🫂✨
