Each of us is a snowflake
Falling through our childhood
It’s impossible to see
where we are going
the wind blows strong
Our path is not yet clear
When we land
Wherever chance takes us
we find our place
And settle down
With other snowflakes
That chance placed near us
We don’t last forever
Though some snowflakes
will go sooner than others
And as we watch
The flakes around us
Disappearing before our eyes
Vanishing as strangely as they were born
We wait for our time to come
Once we melt
And sink into the ground
Our visible remains
Are last seen
As they join with the earth
The pretend creator
And our assumed everlasting resting place
But no one truly lingers long
In the earth
We are creatures of the surface
Ever longing to see the sun
And after everyone has gone home
when nobody is watching
We lift away from the ground
Drawn towards that bright light
And reborn
We fall again
