snowflakes

absorbed by wet pavement

as though

they never existed at all

  1. Loved your poem, Jane, and as your posts and pictures often do, it inspired me to add a few lines. I thought I’d share—with my thanks.

    First ephemeral snow

    snowflakes
    absorbed by wet pavement
    as though
    they never existed at all

    and yet . . .
    as they drifted silently
    into our world
    they spoke to us
    of peace and
    gentle beauty
    reminding us
    that all life,
    however brief,
    has purpose.
