Snowflakes
On my tongue I catch a snowflake,
Smiling at the sweet taste,
That soothes in me some weary ache.
I stand alone, misplaced
In the world of white, so awake
In this land that I have been placed.
And I think, “Am I a mistake?”
In this land Interlaced
With snow fairies that dance and shake
Their magic at my face.
But after a moment, I make
Myself really see this space.
And a part of my heart breaks,
As I see all the colors that have been erased,
Only to be replaced
By all of the dancing snowflakes.
