My symmetrical crystal

My symmetrical crystal

 

I lay on this cool patch of greenish brown grass

Maybe to think, rest or just to allow time to pass

Above a large billowy cloud, block my access to space

All the stars have vanished, kind of, sort of, without a trace

 

Colors begin to change as vapors clash with the cold

Hard to believe something so violent renders like white gold

The chill in the air, brushes up against the exposure of my nose

A theater before me to watch, with a maestro about to compose  

               

Something is falling; I’m not quite sure what it might be

Reflecting light diffusing colors as it becomes clearer for me to see

A symmetrical crystal twirling, floating into plain view

A single snowflake auditioning for the dance called debut

 

Each glide it takes sways the next beat of my loving heart

The rhythm fluctuates as I watch this magnificent work of art

All of a sudden there were more as if someone stroked a brush

An imaginary carpet materializes, with wall-to-wall white plush

 

Lost in a gentle breeze my little flake elevate to a new height

Tracing the heavens, I watch it, as regains its original flight

Parachuting in for a landing, headfirst it falls to grace

This debut of precious crystal is now smiling as it rest upon my face

Your word makes the ordinary, extrordinary, in your description of the creation of a single flake, within the masses of other snowflakes. Of the beauty found in something so common, it's rare. Don't think I will look at a snowfall the same way, after reading this poem, of your's, Ralphy.

This is shining with soft toned lushness! lol
That snowflake, individual and crafted to the beauty of natures heart reminds us all just how different we all are, and yet there is the universal connection! :)

This is beautifully written love, you have captured the essence of one of lifes most precious moments, the aftermath lingers and fills the emotions with happiness:)

Watching the snow fall is really a beautiful sight and wow you really put the experience into a magical wonderland of words.

what a magnificent poem I could feel the crystal floating so seemlessly thru the air, then landing softly on your face.
nicely done Ralphy
