Snowflakes float in all directions: fragile, hapless crystals borne by chancy breezes less stable than the heart in bloom.
Giddy water molecules transformed into asymmetrical hexagons, ascending, not descending, flippant towards Chaos' rules.
One heart beats erratically, attuned to nature’s dance from a lofty metal bed. Quilted and pillowed, eyes open and close, gaze at gauzy air.
Heart is not hampered by diffident frozen droplets, a myriad of them tracing patterns on steamy window panes, cautioning shaded, languid eyes.
Soothing waterless tears shed by banished hearts on white cotton robes in harsh winter clime…
Will snow keep this heart cozy, under a geometric patchwork stitched by chuckling old ladies?
God’s creatures slumber beneath snow’s warm coverlet.
By Psyche

Dropped lines after "clime" to make new S. Tx Snow!
