20 snow flakes

By Cindy-ydniC

20 snow flakes
fall slowly towards the earth.
Observing the transient
What a belle amorous descent
Dancing in the wind, left, with a whoosh of wind
Right, with the push of a soft blow
Upwards, again to the dark passionate sky.
Glistening- 
like flint stones,
Precious like diamond dust
Falling, the imminent descent. 
(It is) Just cold water
Bleeding from the cloud
Beautiful, like nothing else from this world
Rich
Soft
Delicate
Tangible
It is my tears
It is redemption
It is my core
It is hope- in its purest form
But with impact
At a touch:
It is gone

I loved the tenderness of this, the flow, the many directions.... really took the reader along with the flakes.... and the concept... the hope and redemption.... and once touched... vanishes.... like love that cannot be held... that which is destroyed if it is not free.... well done, nicely wrought words... craftswomanship.
