Two Snowflakes

Two snowflakes met within a cloud
In mists of winter‘s space
He, a flake of icy white
And she, a star of lace

The cloud was heavy, winds were strong
In dark mid-winter night
They both held hands and tried to
Stay together in the flight

Then tumbling down they lost their grip
He kept in sight her face
He said, I’ll find you on the ground,
My crystal star of lace

In dawning hour the sun arose
The flake looked near and far
Rising with each whispering wisp
To find his crystal star

And there she was, lit by the sun
So delicate and clear
Among the millions, only one
He wanted to be near

Then children came outside to play
To build a man of snow
She said this is the end for us
For I have got to go

They wrapped her in a ball of snow
Which then became a face
She sparkled in the morning light
This crystal star of lace

He too was packed into the cheek
And both remained for days
She said what will become of us
In sun’s now warming rays

He said the sun will melt us both
And to the ground we’ll fall
But I will not forget your face,
The brightest star of all

I’ll follow you to nearby streams
And into rivers flow
I’ll follow you into the sea
Wherever you may go

One day we’ll rise together in
In the haze of summer heat
And somewhere in a cloud of white
The two of us will meet

The winds will send us onward
To the place of winter storm
You’ll form into a crystal star
With frozen heart so warm

Above the January earth
In gatherings of mist
I’ll find you there, my star of lace
Just waiting to be kissed

Wow, very nice. A sentimental piece

~Flower lasts so an hour, yet spring will brings her back to life again.
~Just when I thought it is too far away, opportunity knocks the door

Liz; I  just discovered this magical beauty and fell under it's spell of delightful wonder....

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
