Snowflakes

Snowflakes falling gently
Like a brides veil touching her face
A path now covered in snow
Like a trail of white covering the steps
leading up to the Aisle.

The wind howls a tune through the trees
Like a church choir playing the wedding march
The union of water crystals in air forming snowflakes
Exchanging of vows, the bride and groom now take.

The snow now bound together 
like an endless white carpet
A couple starting out, on a bed of snow
Love keeping them warm with a radiant glow.

The snow now melting slowly to add
To rivers of life that flow
A magical wonderland, 
When the evening lights catches the snow.

Carol, I like how you bring out the attributes of snow as metaphors for the married couple and the life ahead of them. Nicely done, and congrats on your first place finish ~ John
