Splendor
 
You finally arrived
In your coolness
The icy edges of you
Kissed my cheek
On your fleeting passage by.

The touching glance
Of your fingers on my face
Traced a track;
Sending, suggesting
Pleasured promises
Remembered from times past.

Your beauty cannot be held,
In hand, but merely felt
On lips and cheek and eyelid
Merely a moment of sense
Passing swiftly, I cannot grasp
And hold you
Lest you disappear,
Yet, your wonder accumulates
On mountains, trees and valley deep
To crush you underfoot
Where I walk and play in your glory
You effervescent, crystalline
Snowflake.
