under the microscope
are you a miracle of beauty?

will distinctive patterns
make impressions on my soul?

captured by camera
would I be able to draw you?

or would that picture
just simply melt away?

is your design for life
one to be repeated?

does it change for better
any worlds lived in today?

just like snowflakes
all human life is transitory

one by one
lives simply fade away

uniqueness lost
never replicated

the moment gone
forever trying to grasp it

seeking divinity
in the fragility
of humanity
