Snowflake

 

A snowflake fell upon your lower lash

And so resembled a tear

After it had melted,

I felt sure something was wrong.

The features of your face

Suddenly seemed saddened

And were confirmed by the tear.

I wouldn't have noticed

That anything was amiss

Without the help of that single snowflake.

Perhaps I don't look deep enough

At important things,

Unless something illuminates them,

Shining a light

Into the darkness of my thoughts

Awakening my selfish soul.
