Snowflakes

Watching the snowflakes Gently glide through the chilly air Watching the snowflakes Slowly combine and fall together This one snowflake flew into my hands It melted and drip out of my palm. Why are my hands so destructive? Whatever is in my grasps ends up disappearing. I started to think about you and I. We were snowflakes floating in the wind. We were so close and became one We split apart now, and I lost you. Once the wind settles down Maybe I’ll find you. Instead I hit the ground And started to melt apart. I became water to become flexible to find you You became ice because you repelled me I came crashing and rushing to find you While you were tranquil but so rigid Instead of melting together You pierced through me And I evaporated away. I took shape of any vessel you desired. I kept changing who I was. I tried to be what you wanted. Instead, I lost myself trying to find you.
