Fragile – A Poem

Fragile is the heart
That cries in pain.
It lies unheard and goes unseen in vain
That has lost its love of life.

Fragile is the mind
That has lost a friend.
Fragile too is the snowflake
Seeking sanctuary on my window sill,
Both are anonymous to the world.

Fragile is the dreamer
Who knows the snowflake well,
Pure as an angels tear
Complex as the heavens above.

For within its crystal, there is a mirror
Where footprints lead me down
A snowy lover’s lane
To that first kiss.

Oblivious to winter’s chill
She held my dreams,
Warmed my passion
And whispered the words,
That only lovers can hear.

And in the virgin snow
I proclaimed to the night,
“I love you”
As the snow melted into tears upon her face.

Fragile was the time we were given to each other,
And fragile is the youth
That remembers the girl
That loved him so tender
in the cold of yesterday.

Fragile are the Angels
that dance for love
In snowflake dresses
Swirling their magic,
Ever knowing that spring
Would chase their dance away.

Fragile is the life
Searching for answers,
Sharing a snowflakes fate
Brothers of nature
Beautiful and Unique.

Born to melt away
In the heat of time,
For it is an honor to know a life that others did not
A memory born special to me

Fragile too are we who love this life
Whose lives are touched by those we meet
Who gather the things that make us complete
Friends and Snowflake memories.
