A delicate touch of winter’s breath 
        landed softly in my hand.
An intricate sculpture of frosted air,
        a fleeting masterpiece,

A moment of wonder held 
        within my palm,
A brief pause in its journey
        from heaven to earth.

A reminder of the profound inspiration 
        of God’s artistry,
Revealed in simple moments.
        A silent prayer etched in ice.
