Author's Note: This is a winter poem and collaboration was used with Emily H. It isn't just a descriptive poem about winter, but it also has meaning to people. About how you hold onto life. It's precious and don't let go of it. There will be mistakes, but still enjoy the ride.
Earths frozen tears fall from above
Earths frozen tears fall from above
Landing on the grass
Slowly the flakes
cling onto each other
Piling up a mountain
Gradually they fall
White puffy clouds
covering all of the earths surface
"Shhhhh,"
can you hear it?
Wind howling through
the trees
Branches swaying
forth and back again
Flakes being knocked
off of one another
Holding on tight to
the others
One will not belong
For when the rest
are hanging on,
That one flake will
fall
Not just luck, but
bound to hit a pile of fluffy white snow on its way down
A mountain to break
its fall
Soft and delicate,
Intricate detail
from appearance
Inside, its journey
One flake, not much
to think about
Its story, a battle
to win
Hanging on through
the wind,
Not to get torn
apart
It's much too
delicate
One fall, one
mistake of letting go and it's gone
Earths frozen tears
fall from above
Landing on the grass
Slowly the flakes
build up on one another
And keep building up
on one another
