Track 2
catch a snowflake
if you can
nothing is quite what it seems.
living is for here and now.
so defrost your frozen dreams.
do not wait to question how.
by elizabeth bewick
catch a snowflake if you can,
see the patterns as they run,
hold them melting in your hand.
lick your fingers as they numb.
hold your hands out to the wind.
let the rain run down your face.
step in every fairy ring.
hide in each enchanted place.
try to find an icicle.
put it in the microwave,
watch it turn into a pool
which the buzzer cannot save.
write your words upon the air.
see them curve and rhyme and scan.
make new patterns everywhere,
catch a snowflake if you can.
