Snowflake hope
Rain falls on the empty streets
It’s dawn
You hear distant cars
The wind blows a frozen kiss
Upon ragged sidewalks
And for a moment everything is perfectly imperfect
An ordinary moment in time-
The blackness of the sky is consuming
Quiet before the chaos begins
An echo in time
Suddenly the rain stops
And it’s the loudest silence
Natures slumber
While a single flake hovers down
Twisting and turning
Landing in your palm
