First Snowfall

In the simple chemistry of childhood wishes,
Bright dreams of winter
Are catalyzed
By the swirling promise of snow clouds.

Young eyes glance skyward,
The hope within
Riding warm convections of delight
To the frosty altitudes
Of December's sky -
Soon snow will fly!

In the frozen depths
Of the firmament,
The reaction is born:
A poem of crystalline mathematics
Grown from a single seed;
Like all seeds, a pledge
Of fruition.

Then comes the icy proclamation
As the clouds release their tale,
Each snowflake
A masterpiece in six lines,
Revised by the wind.

On the blank page of Earth below,
The poems are reworked
By body-warmed snowsuits
And mittened hands,
Every snow-angel
An essay on joy,
Every snowman
An anthology, well-worn,
Filled with memories of the moment

This coin is the fiveteenth coinof the silver Crystal Snowflakes series collection that currently has fifteen coins, issued from 2007 to 2013.
