A Snowflake In The Cycle Of A Tear

12.14.2013

 

As if on command

The snowflake

Landed on her cheek

Melted

Leaving the tear

Her eyes failed to send

They had long since dried up

They had long since run out

Given up having learned

The love in her life would end

Thinking

Hers a broken heart

Would never mend

 

Took the melt

Of a snowflake

For her to feel life again

Not the feeling of loss

But from the heat off her skin

The warmth from her heart

Her heart on the mend

From a cold, cold sadness

Until it found its warming trend

A snowflake in the cycle of a tear

 

This snowflake

Had gone full circle

Finally found its way back home

Completing the water cycle

Where it started as a tear

To the ground

To the sky

But the salt to the earth

Water down and around

Until it landed here

As a snowflake

Melting

Representing a tear

Only not for love lost

For that stayed with the salt

But as proof a broken heart

Had not been the cost

That a bruised heart could heal

Heal from one love lost

 

A smile ensued

As did another tear

Only not from the cold

But a warmth from within

Greeting happiness

As if it was a long lost friend

 

She turned her head up

Turned her head up to the sky

To catch the next flake on her tongue

The very next to catch her eyes

And take back what one tear had stolen

When love said its first goodbye

 

Took the melt

Of a snowflake

For her to feel life again

Not the feeling of loss

But from the heat off her skin

The warmth from her heart

Her heart on the mend

From a cold, cold sadness

Until it found its warming trend

A snowflake in the cycle of a tear
