Winter unexpected twist

I gazed upon the winter sky, Expecting snowflakes to gently lie Upon my palm, a delicate dance. But Instead, Mount Fuji ash takes it chance. ~Byeol __________________________________________________________________________________________ Explanation: this poem is about human expectations, the opening line "I gazed upon winter sky/ expecting snowflakes to gently lie on my palm" reveal our human expectations and assumptions about how things should unfold. We humans tend to make assumptions based on past experience and general trends. When instead of snowflakes Mount Fuji ash fell it symbolises that life is full of suprises and it have unpredictable nature.
