Snowflakes

Small, fragile, icy cold
Drifting softly, coming close
Crafted uniquely, just to see 
Nature’s beauty for you and me

Some are big, some are small
Watch them closely, look how they fall
See their figure, see their shape
Don’t touch them though
For they will fade away
Our body heat is much too strong
For these little objects to land on

They lay atop of the ground
Over and over, all around
They grow so magnificently 
To just melt away
A work of are doesn’t fit in place
The beauty fades as the temperatures rise

The snowflakes are gone
Winters goodbyes.
