Dawn in Daylight

June 30, 2014
By Anonymous

Snow lies untouched
Unfazed, childlike, new
Pure and simple
Yet a value held long by few

When the dawn passes
some snow may get dirty
its pureness now gone
its life ahead murky

Some snow may melt
moving on to another life
Into a cycle
filled with nothing but strife

As each and every snow
moves on to other days
it is forgotten
what should always stay

When all the snow is gone
and only one patch remains true
Seeking not what brought sorrow
that snow holds its hue

Very visual you used perfect imagery in short stanzas. I liked how you took the reader through the changes of the snowflake from start to end, and the one holding to the very end. My favorite line was, "Seeking not what brought sorrow that snow holds it true."
