The wonder of it, the snowflake!
No two kinds alike in the world.
Just like us humans, couldn’t you say?
 Fingerprints of nature unfurled. 
They fall as they may;
They fall where they might;
A rainbow of color residing within,
To create the color of white.

Color, at its ambiguous best, 
 Should be blind to all human eye.
For residing within us, we are the same,
As snowflakes in the sky,
Floating down from Heaven,
Residing side by side
In chaotic harmony,
Where love and honor should abide.

Hexagonal perfection, six-sided wonder,
The insight of oneness defined,
Showing off flawless creation,
But burden of life cannot be denied.
The weight of such a weightless flake,
When gathered all together,
Can cause the very earth to quake,
The consequence of stormy weather.

The edible snowflake – like communion – 
Wafers melting on the tongue,
Cleansing and refreshing man,
To help us learn to live as one.
Reminders of beginnings,
When we were just as small,
As the incredible, edible snowflake –
Perfection in our own little ball.
