Snowy thoughts inside my brain
...mingle with the frozen block
I think of as my heart.
Emotions, solid and piercing
...as the icles
hanging from the roof.

A candle burns late into the night
standing out like a
flower would in winter.

A mind thinks slowly
about the problems
of the world.

A tear falls slowly down a withered cheek,
like dew settling slowly
on an open flower.

A heart stops beating
in a tired body,
and the world goes on.

Snowflake upon my window,
I hope you're going to stay.
I haven't talked to anyone,
I feel so all alone.

Little fire died upon the hearth,
and the snowflake
melted down the glass.
