SNOW ANGEL
innocence personified
danced with the snowflakes
as if she was one of them
fluttering and flying
reflecting the inner light
of those around her
but falling to the ground
many saw a mere g.irl
so I must have been snowblind
because I saw an angel
whom I lifted up
careful not to break
and repaired her wings
her light shone brighter
then as I gazed
she said the light was me
only reflected in her
wondering if maybe
to embrace the light
is to embrace her
or if she would melt
like the snowflakes
if one touch
would make or break
her crystalline spirit
putting the light out.
melting snowflakes is
something I have
all too much experience in
there is less of me to reflect
when the light dims
in catching a snowflake
on one hand but
only having her
for a fleeting moment
my touch could melt her
break her and put her out
letting her go is
the only thing to do
light must shine elsewhere
snowflakes need to dance
by nature she has to fly because
no way could I ever
be the one to
make this angel fall.
