Fragile is the mind <br />That cannot see a friend <br />Fragile too is the snowflake <br />Seeking sanctuary on my window sill <br />Both are anonymous to the world <br /> <br />The dreamers will see many snow flakes <br />Whose beauty we can only imitate <br />Within this gift, there is a place <br />That reminds us of the summer days to come <br />A garden for the soul <br /> Where Friends are bees <br />That pollinates the spirit with love <br /> <br />For you too are part of a fragile world <br />Seeking life’s journey <br />A visitor within a snowflake <br />Beautiful and Unique <br />Born to melt away <br />In the heat of time <br /> <br />For it is an honour to know a life that others did not <br />To be chosen by this snowflake on my window sill <br />A memory for my garden to keep <br />And perhaps that is enough for anyone’s existence<br /><br />Steven Cooke<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-snowflake-passed-this-way/
