Cold Tolerance

Snowflakes...
So different from one another
So Utterly
Individual
From one
Another
But yet they all exist
Tightly packed
Together
With no choice
And only
Silence
As a meek
Reward

Tolerance is not a choice
It's trusted upon
Each one
Embracing it
Making it their code for
Pattern

If tolerance
Was not
Alive
In
These temporary
Beings
Difference
Would be a quality
Dormant
Because if none of them were
Tolerant
Then everyone would
Scramble
To look the same

But this is what makes them...
A snowflake

Sometimes I wish winter never ended
