Intricate Design

Intricate designs softly flutter in crisp coolness
Descending downward to an unknown destiny
Swaying, peaceful, timeless
Sensitive, they melt upon my tongue
Never to return again
Yet still more fall, each their own
With planned destinations and life spans
Though they may be unaware

One does know

Every unique personal purpose
And they do so without thought
They let it be
Submitting to a path of flowing air
We don't give in so easily
Greedy, we wander to grasp power and control

Won't I fall along?

I want to be a creation
An innovation to one's mind
Too complex to comprehend my origin
Just as that intricate design of snowflakes descending to dissolve upon my tongue
The endless starlit night invites along, soft breeze
Swinging leaves on sturdy trees
Convince me to unclench my fists
Let gusts breathe through their openings
And awake in me awareness of vulnerability
Though still knowledge of
His promise I too, will follow in descent if only to dissolve within His presence, my intricate design
