Into the Sun

This sunny morning,
puffy clouds
float above a blanket of fluffy snow.

As a wind moves through the trees,
snowflakes drop
away from the branches,
into the sun,
moving like a sparkly curtain
dancing with the breeze.

Did the flakes have any idea,
as they fell through
yesterday’s gray sky,
that they’d also feel
the touch of light?
