Upon billions of snowflakes to form in the sky,
To watch Sol's bright path in heavenly birth,
Just like the others it's tiny in size,
But single, alone, it falls to the Earth.
It catches the light as it hangs in the air,
Graceful and beautiful, it glides on the breeze,
There's only one missing so why should we care?
As it flutters toward the sky tearing trees.
One minute of beauty, one moment to shine,
So fragile so delicate, that melts with a breath,
One snowflake that fell before it was time,
That flutters so softly to it's own death.
The rain and the snow the dark and the light,
The heat and the cold the day and the night,
For memories that have and things yet to be,
For the beauty of all and things yet to see.
A cycle of giving, a cycle of trying,
A cycle of living, a cycle of dying,
You have one last chance to plead and to act,
But you watch it fall to far too come back.
