A single snowflake
Lands softly on me cheek.
And one on the back of my hand.

I watch as it slowly
Melts into beads
Of crystal.
Gradually merging into one.

The water droplet
Runs down my hand.
Lingers at the tip
Of my finger.

I let it dance there
Just for a moment
While the other
Rolls down my cheek.

Or just another tear
Remembering the brilliance
Of the once
Powerful you.
