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. 1-28-22 Contest: Bite Size Poem no34 Sponsor Line Gauthier

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!

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!

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.
