Analysis of Snowflake
A beautiful sheen of intricately splayed layers, with rich complexity as if seemingly certain was crafted completely purposefully, though likely,
perhaps even clearly, a construct of countless, unimaginable imagined forces collaborating carefully as covert conductors.
The conduit so fragile, in its final hour, the glass sunders to its final grain of sand,
Its shelter succumbs to sound silence and secedes into this souls sarcophagus until it, as well, shatters.
As it was, it still shall be,
But with certain discord, so perfectly.
Its history now eternally absent,
as the broken sheen shares no reflection.
Neither recycled nor forgotten, just undone.
