Snowflakes

We are snowflakes, you, and I.
Unique creative winter ones.
Individually patterned personalities -
and not one of us alike.

We are angelic singular designs
drifting down from heavens,
Holding firmly onto our outwardly
frozen solid forms.
But our individual geometric selves
we will eventually lose.
Everything that has form, will change,
tempting us to cling fiercely
To save our form, begging us to believe
we are forever losing us.
Eventually, we will look
at this ongoing process closely
And see a process more than us -
one journey falling into earth.
We are melting together
into an essential oneness.
The only safe thing we can do
is to surrender
And melt magically
into each changing moment;
surrendering our form
and becoming formless.
 
So, breathe deep. We are safe.
Seek the tenderness within.
Stand delighted
in new sun-kissed mornings.

Embrace extraordinary newness
in ordinary days.
We have only this moment to melt.
It will never be again.
It takes courage to trust this process
but trust we must.
So, go melt. Do it now.
Don’t wait. Let go.

Remember who you are truly are -
a snowflake for all seasons.
