Snow to Tears

Thirty-two names for snow
have the chilled Eskimo
Could it be the same for tears
trapped underneath the ice of years?
They slide down a guiltless face
Graceful each a unique flake
Unnamed white blocked underground
gurgles upward to be found
Crystal to liquid to feel
the wounded heart thaw and heal
