TO A SNOWFLAKE

Would that I were as pure and white as you.
My heavy body lifted and transformed
Into the elements ethereal...
Wrought into tiny particles, like you!
Like you, descending softly through the air,
To fall upon the Earth, on Christmas Eve!
To gleam and sparkle, like a diamond bright!
To be, for all, an object of delight!

O fragile beauty, light and intricate!
How awesome is the secret of your birth!
Your origin is steeped in my mystery...
Unsolved enigma of Creator's plan!
Your tiny form has stirred the mind of man
To muse how through the millions of years,
That Mother Earth has witnessed your descent,
No two of you have ever been alike.
