Like Snowflakes

From clear white skies they fall.

Almost appearing out of nothingness, they gently float to earth. Different sizes, each unique in design,  yet fundamentally the same, they float down, lightly touching where they land.

They collide with each other, they lean against each other, and they carry each other. They form different mounds where they lay, each integral to the mound. Each with a duty and sent down with a purpose.

Within minutes, each begins to dissolve and evaporate, leaving behind a wet spot that once held their place.

They aren’t forgotten.

Just like a snowflake, though gone for now, your spot remains amongst us all.
