The snow falls oh so softly from this wintery sky
Each flake like almost nothing
And even less than nothing
Melting on my upturned face
And yet, in time, flake falls on flake
Building drifts nearly insurmountable.

Life, like this winter sky
Can sometimes seem so dark
So dreary
And a single act of kindness?
Insignificant.

But over time, kindness begets kindness
Changing lives.
Least of which my own.

May my life be forever like this gentle storm
Spreading joy with every flake that falls.

Abbreviated version for mindfulness repetition:

The snow falls oh so softly from this wintery sky.
May my life be forever like this gentle storm
Spreading joy with every flake that falls.
