A Wondering Snowflake

A Wondering Snowflake
                                           
A magnificent snowflake
drifts slowly towards earth,
Wondering the true meanings
of its quintessential birth.
                             
Gazing at the landscape
held captive through the breeze,
Sailing quite quickly past
snow draped evergreen trees.
       
An old farmhouse covered thick
in the glistening white snow.
The small snowflake drifts toward
the frosted windows that glow.
                 
A small child lies outside,
her arms waving around,
“Look what I made in the snow,
An Angel, right here on the ground.”
                                   
Her face and her eyelashes
covered with flakes of fresh snow,
She stares into space watching
Nature's astonishing white show.
                     
The long journey now complete,
the snowflake suddenly knows
where its true destiny lies as it
lands on the very tip of her nose.
