"Snowflake,
you've woken me from my slumber."
Said the evergreen.

  "Forgive me evergreen,
I've no control of where I fall."
Said the snowflake.

  "Have you fallen here before snowflake?"

  "No,
this is my first and only time in this world."

  "I'm pretty sure you've landed on my foliage before."

  "You'll have seen other snowflakes,
but not me."

  "First and only time in this world.
What do you mean?"

  "I'll experience this world once,
when I melt away,
that'll be the end of me!"

  "Won't you be created again
by whatever caused you into being?"

  "No,
I'm unique,
I'll never be formed again.
I'll have to make the most of my time,
here and now."

  "I don't see the point of your existence!
You'll only be here for a brief moment in time.
What's the reason for your being?"

  "To exist,
that's the only reason!"

  "What purpose will you fulfil?"

  "My purpose is to simply be,
that's my function in this world!
That's enough for me!"
Said the snowflake,
as it melted away,
in the warmth of the rising winter sun.
