Frozen Beauty

gray0328

The world is frozen, trapped in ice

The moon has lost her wits

A star falls, a glimmer of light

In the midst of darkness, it flits

 

The farmers sweat, turning in their sleep

Like oxen on spits, they rest

But the world outside is still and cold

A mammoth of ice, frozen and possessed

 

But in the depths of the ocean

The cod swims freely, a key in a purse

And the trout chuckles in its hole

A sleeper in the depths, immersed

 

The deer roam the bare-blown hills

Their smiles like nurses, comforting and kind

And the flies, hidden behind the plaster

A lost score of a jig, they remind

 

The world may be frozen, trapped in time

But life still flows, in its own pace

And as the night tightens its grip

There's still beauty in this frozen place. ("Frozen Beauty") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
