MARCH SNOWFLAKES
The snowflakes fall silently
Unheralded
Like frozen shards of clouds
Harboring secrets of the heavens
Mute
Nimble
Obscure
Chameleon face
From brilliant white
To dingy achromatic
Their fleeting moment of fame
Melts wistfully
And without ceremony
Once breathtaking
Now a distant memory
