Jordan

Crystals of ice hand-crafted by the divine White as the aura of a newborn babe Unique, complex, exceptional Beauty in its most natural form Delicately falling to the Earth Evanescent in their nature For whatever Earth gets, —it destroys. Each erased by Earth’s reign over nature Disappearing into nothingness As if they never existed The world becomes one. Such is the life of a snowflake: The tumultuous fall from the heavens Onto the tongue of some innocent child Or the hard ground on which we walk.
