Snowflake
I watched the snow descend to earth
Attention sought as flakes give birth
Submit to all her majesty
Surrender clouded canopy
A freezing fox that runs across
The curtilage wild turkey's toss
A lofty oak tree hides raccoon
Two fledgeling birds lose their platoon
The strapping deer takes off in flight
See squirrels flee with all their might
An Owl concluding calls of whoo
The animals know to eschew
All happens when the snowflakes fall
Am spellbound by one flake or all
The memory each one contain
Unique like us and our domain
Snowflakes and animals I see
We all are different you and me
Is random chance it's proximious ?
Creation not dichotomous
Am thankful I could see this view
And freedom too believe it's true

Author's Note
Poem is in Iambic Tetrameter with an
aabb rhyme thingy. The story is basically
true. We recently sold the house I grew up
in, and the winter before was visiting and
looked out west and down were coming
large snowflakes. The animals we scurrying
about....it was dreamy.
