Gelida

The frozen silent slow embrace of winter tells its tale.
Whispered wind of reverence holds perfect moment frail.
The prince of purpose ponders here on every past defeat.
A realm of riddles, rhyme and puzzle shrouded in deceit.

Yonder stillness separates the soul from simple shape.
The cold and snow carnivorous, but calm covers the cape.
A thief of everything that grows, yet still a gift from god.
Lessons learned in lost laments of longing leave us awed.

Fragile fractal ice crystals are freezing as they fall
They're answering anxiety, astonishing us all.
This perfect moment cradles time, shatters entropy -
Removed wholly from space and frame, in love with gravity.

Set me alight with all your fuel, bleed me with every blade,
The snowflakes heal so perfectly, in their slow serenade.
