Shall strength be found in most fragile of flakes
That melt before the heat of angry rays
Disappear, dissolve, in fierce seas and lakes
Can one alone halt traffic on highways
Can that delicate drop precipitate
A fall of snow that fills the chasm’s void
Though uniquely formed it has no great weight
Singularly, too easily destroyed
Crystallised cohesion in pearlised chains
Strengthened beauty around the nuclei
Forging links, formed from irritating grains
Precious snowflakes blind disbelieving eyes
On collision course with an avalanche!
Accumulated pressure shall advance!
