Frost Flowers

Bits and pieces, drops of life
Falling petals, crystal moments
Stage-set in translucent glass
in the snow.

Wondrous heartshapes, sunburst rain
Disremembered, hidden glitter
Lest the petals do not last
in the snow.

Wondrous heartaches, starburst pain
In encrested golden orbs,
Fragile vessels, frozen fast
in the snow.
