January Snow is light and tiny

Sticking to my windshield so helplessly

Trying to free itself and shaking in the wind

Melting right in front of me

Shining briefly and burned out with glorious beam

I was driving home one day and there are light snow starting to fall. While I was stopping at a light, I saw this tiny snow flake floating and eventually landing on my windshield. The wind is picking up and the snow flake was sticking to the windshield and looks like it's trying to free itself. The heat from my car melte the flake and it just disappeared. Right before it vanished the sun thru the cloud was shining on it and the reflection of the flake gives out a brief but gorgeous beam.

At the exact moment, I was pondering: life itself is like the snowflake, brief and vanishing quickly. Most people is just going to be like the melted snowflake, vanished without a trace. Some would shine briefly trying to leave its marks or impression before it disappeared into eternity. In the end, there are always going to be more snowflakes coming and going.
