SNOWFLAKES ONLY LEAVE MEMORIES

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

Now is a snowflake
of time that lands
on your tongue

you feel it
you taste it
it was real
but then
it is gone 

you savored it
you saved it
as a memory
but there is
no proof
no trophy
of the moment
to  show

snowflakes
leave no momentos 

dried flowers
in a book
prove there was
a Spring

Snowflakes
leave only memories
of a now with you
I will never forget
and that is proof
enough for my heart
