FLAKES

Flakes

December's wintry hearth
holds its breath
in windswept drifts.

Frozen hush seeps
through soul,
alabaster chilled sculptures
mystically nudge
hibernation's hypnotic allure

Flake on window
inspires
seeing life's vignette,
nature's crystals
unique and fleeting.

We are its gems
distinct and precious,
often missed in the majesty
of a distraction's tundra.
