Snowflake I envy,
how you can fall so far
and still land in one piece.
The brilliance of you,
mesmerizing, white, untainted.
Despite the foggy water you probably came from,
no one could tell you were ever unclean.
I watch you from the window
as you calmly collect yourself,
filling sidewalk cracks and lightly dusting trees.
Soon all you touch will be just as sparkling
While I sit inside and wish myself clean.
With eyes closed, I hold my breath
and imagine my life as you.
Without warning evaporation takes me,
Just as quickly the sky drops me,
I land lightly but there was no choice in this.
Snowflake I envied you,
until you melted.
