Frozen Snow

Snow falls, softly hitting the ground as water. I watch them land, one by one, wondering how their hopes disappear as they contact. My heart constricts as I feel them evaporate in front of my eyes. Sadness wells up inside me as tears begin to form and I can feel the cold winter wind stabbing icicles into my skin. Turning away to wipe them away I notice a thin white layer that lies below. Feeling a little happier as I see their efforts creating something I stand up, ready to move on. It gives me strength to move forward, even though, one day, it might disappear into the wind.
