If I Were a Snowflake
(Eternity in the Round)


Oh, to live forever,
my plastic form enshrined
in global ecstasy,
inspiration I shall find.

You’ll not think me pretty,
no fancy shape for me,
a thousand just the same,
no differences you’ll see.

But melt I will not ever,
my teeming horde aspire,
to ride the storm always,
a silent gleaming choir.

And though my world is tiny,
the snow just my pretence,
I’ll see the end of time itself,
through ages beyond sense.
