Snowflakes fall
Like diamonds
Landing softly
Littering the ground
Sparkling sharp
Tread carefully
They fade
As if touched
By a flame
Melting into the darkness
Along where the only wild things
Reside amongst the night
Listen closely
They whisper as they float
In the breeze
Blending the tiny voices
Threaded through nature's loveliness
Look closely
Other gems can be seen
The eyes of others
Sharing the snowfall
With you.

For Shaun and his first borne.
