———————
Frosted white and snowblind…
My eyes glowed like pearls
reflected in the bone white ground…
And, with hope dancing just
out of reach…
The majestic beauty of the newly frosted ice,
shared its bleak refrain with all
those around…
Dancing and
Breathing a tremulous note…
only equal to the atonal
harmony….
beating
in my tired…
but still persistent…
heart…
