Prism of Snow, The Snowflake
There is nothing good about the cold
 That pricks and pinches your skin
 The sloppy slippery snow-slate
 That makes us skid and fall
 The sky where there are no clouds
 The sky where there is no sun
 The blue that was up high
 That blue is now down low
 That is what I had thought
 That is what I had believed...but
 That was only until I had perceived
 The slide-sledding
 The love-laughing 
 The acknowledgment of my breadth 
 The mysteriousness of each myth
 How is it that I was blind to this beauty?
 And my eyes were cloudy to the cloud-less clear sky?
 Never had I seen something so pretty
 Kites of snow falling through the sky
 
 Yearning to run and jump in this light
 Oh this never can ever end
 Under the cloudless sky
 Ubiquitous specks of white fall
 Umpteenth and endless gathering on my hands
 Understanding what I could not comprehend
 Understanding what made them smile
 
 Well now, I felt the cold no more
 In the midst of this white warmth
 Never could I have imagined me appreciating 
 This sugarglazing of my sight
 Elegantly spread over a hard, bitter surface
 Rarely have I truly smiled...but only to you, Snowprism
