We Are Stars, We Are Snowflakes

We Are Stars, We Are Snowflakes

Stars shine bright

Some shine more than others

But they are no less there

Each one different

size,

light

And snowflakes

No two are alike

As snowflakes fall they begin separate

Then  gently merge

And become a blank page

A story still unwritten

We are stars

We shine our lights

Then burn out

Once we have no more time

But have hopefully made our mark

We are like snowflakes

Starting out as individuals

All different

But then that gets hidden

And we come together

And write our story

Because it is our nature

Not to stay alone

We are stars

We are snowflakes

We have our lights

       And our unique designs

Keep shining

Stay intricate

Write your story

Author's Note

I love the idea of this poem. Everyone has their own light, and an intricate personaltiy and story. Just like stars and snowflakes, no 2 people are the same. I feel it may need some revising to be as powerful as it can be, but let me know what you think of it now, please.
I also do not believe in a god that makes my path, or a destiny that I must fulfill. I believe in doing what I love and what is right. How happy would the world be if everyone thought like that? It does not mean to be selfish, more to be happy and nice, and spread that around. I believe I can write my own story and fill it with wonderful things.

What about you?

I'm getting a little of a mixed message about this. You do give the feeling of starting anew and loving individuality. But you alps give a gloomier side by saying that it can also be 'snuffed out' just as easily. I do like the conflict I suppose; there's nothing good nor essentially bad in this world. You made that greatly clear in your words and format, well done.

We do carry our own story. A story that some may not wish to share with others but some would gladly share. I thought it was powerful enough. A very good poem. A good job and keep on writing.
