The snow falls gently

Consistently

Bravely. Never faltering

On the way down, not once

Questioning where 

Is the right place 

To land. A symbol

Of fragility, of sensitivity

And delicacy—wrongly 

So. have you seen the destruction

An avalanche can bring? Even the trees

 Bend under its weight. Beautiful, yes

Magical, it seems

Dangerous? Too many forget it. So i

Will be like the snow; a quick peek

Over the edge of the cloud

And down i hurtle

Never slowing, never wavering

Not worrying over where i 

Should land. A single snowflake

Is delicate, yes, fragile, yes

But i am not alone

And we will bring an avalanche.
