Snowflake-Memory Poem

This is a poem I wrote about how snowflakes are like memories. Enjoy and comment!

Snowflakes are like memories.

They drift down on to your tongue.

Stay there for a fleeting second.

Then melt away into nothing.

They fall thickly, accumulating in thick piles and mounds.

They cushion your falls.

And chill your bones.

Then melt away into nothing.

They come in blizzards.

And in muddy slush.

They can be ugly or beautiful.

Then the melt away into nothing.

All seem the same.

But all are different.

Everyone is unique.

But they all melt into nothing.

Some stay for ages.

Others do not.

Some disappear as they are falling.

They all eventually melt into nothing.

The only thing we can do is put them in the freezer and hope.

That our memories don’t melt into nothing.
