I am a Snowflake!

   

I watched my Christmas cactus blooming in the window

In its glorious color of red for the season

In the background I watched it snowing outside

The biggest flakes I’d ever seen floating in the air

landing wherever the wind took them

I floated off mesmerized by the snow

Fantasizing I was one of those big flakes

The lights twinkled along the bushes and the house

Giving it that glow of ambiance the season brings

Embers crackled in the fire as I melted into a puddle on the floor.
