This is very short but it seems an appropriate day to post it. I wrote it late in 2011 in response to a painting (not the image above by the way). I kicked around some other snowflakey ideas but this seemed to hit the mark I was aiming for in a very few words. Snowflake's not the actual title of the poem but it'll do.
Snowflake
I looked for you
Snowflake
I looked for you
as a man searching for blossom in a snowstorm.
For a heart to cradle
that would not melt away.
For a heart to cradle
that would not melt away.
