Sam Kauffman Poet Rhyme

The Snowflake

The Snowflake

If I could borrow from nature’s hand a symbol, a modality,
That speaks of me 
The snowflake I choose for its originality.

No two look quite alike, each wears a different face
Yet when they fall upon a barren world defaced
They blend in harmony with beauty’s grace.

Jennifer Proxenos January 29, 2022 at 1:22 PM This is such a delicate beautiful poem. I can feel the snowflakes dropping on my face and watch while the the rest surround where I stand . Captivating write Sam . Hugs blessings Jennifer Sam Kauffman February 2, 2022 at 10:05 AM Hello dear friend! Watching snowflakes fall is truly a fun and very "captivating," hypnotic experience - one of serene peace that quiets the noisy world around us. So much fun to have a friend stand with in this enchantment! Sending you blessings of peace, prayers and a hug! Hope all is well!

Valsa George January 28, 2022 at 8:29 PM This is so beautiful Sam.... I just love the thought. Each one of us is unique, but when we merge together, what a collective identity we procure and what strength and grace that identity exudes! Sam Kauffman February 2, 2022 at 9:59 AM Valsa, thank you! Agreed! I have always thought it takes all of the snowflakes to create a beautiful winter picture and it takes all of us coming together to create a picture of grace. I use this poem when I get to work with children. Sending you blessings of grace and many thanks for your lovely message.
