T’was the fourth day of December
And I sat with scissors in hand,
Destroying bits of paper,
Piece by piece and strand by strand.
Trying to create a masterpiece –
A perfection of cuts and folds.
A small paper imitation
Of a snowflake – minus the cold.
But instead, I sat for an hour,
Annihilating every creation,
Destroying each attempt at a paper beauty
No matter my slicing deviation.
I folded corners out of place,
I sliced the poor things in half.
Paper simply should have been running
From my destructive path!
But at the last, the very last,
When I felt weary and nearly done,
I finally – finally – began to see,
How the ending could happily run…
And going ever so slowly,
Making folds and cuts with care,
I finally came out with the snowflake,
I do above with you share.
Despite original intentions,
I stopped after just one.
It was rather too late to keep going
But I plan more later – no, I’m not yet done!
To the KING be all the glory!
Someday I am going to TRY to make
a snowflake out of fabric!!
That would be fun!
*grins*
like I said in the text, lovely. ;D
