I am a fleeting Snowflake

Oopsie daisy ~

Why make a snowman,

When he will melt away?

Why catch snowflakes,

When they will turn away?

In the void,

Dark thoughts are abundant,

I recoiled,

At those sights unpleasant,

Suffering mounts,

Toppling heaven's crown,

Happiness frowns,

At the ugliness of my empty lounge,

Still, all moments in life are precious,

Because I have met you,

Those who have granted me love,

Though just a speck,

You were there,

In my ugly hours and lent me care,

Making life worth living.

For that, I thank you so much.

Though in this shortened lifespan,

I may die a moment next,

As long as I hold onto the visions,

Of your dreams and our moments,

I will be satisfied, perhaps.

So why make a snowman, when he will melt away?

For that will grant him happiness to be able to live,

So why take his life and ending days?

For that will grant him a lasting, peaceful sleep...

Heroines of my desires, 

Please live on even without me,

Though I cannot ask you to remember,

Those nights you slept, I felt so lonely,

Regardless, 

Thank you for allowing me to live,

In this fantastic dream of our desires,

Though a life without me is a leap,

Please forfeit me and our love empire,

Because within you, I will reside,

Until the North of Western November,

In your heart, my spirit lives on,

I hope, 

Until you need me no longer,

I hope.

This gave me a strong sense of "go on without me, please," and I'm not sure if its in an emotional context or a physical one. Either way, the distress and acceptance of it seem to be the two major components of this. The big question of "why bother" seems to be floating over this piece.

I think the beauty in a snowman is that it doesn't last forever. Like a rose. A season. Even a life. Time is the greatest gift we have to give to ourselves, to others, and to the world.

I won't bog this down with toxic positivity. Emotions are valid.

The biggest contributions we make to the world are the ones we don't even realize. Someone, out there, somewhere in the world, is thinking about how you showed them kindness. Humanity. Decency. Perhaps things that were never offered freely in the past.

Your work often makes me question my own stance on things. Sometimes, your poetry feels full with absolute joy. Sometimes, it fills me with questions. Your work genuinely adds a quality to my life, and I know others. You have a beautiful mind and heart this world very much needs.

Help is always near, friend. Whatever life has in front of you, I wish you love, quality of life, and peace. Good food and good times. Good people and good hearts to match your own. You have been kind, insightful, and a wonderful individual to interact with. You put your heart into what you do, and it shows.

Thank you for making this world a brighter place, even when you can't always see it
