When Water Turns To Ice



When water turns to ice,

It has its charms--

Especially embodied in

White skates,

A red scarf,

And a pair of outstretched arms.


Still,

I prefer water--

Because of the way it approaches, then retreats,

Unable to help itself;


I love the thing that can kill and possess, all in the same motion--

Not static

Not frozen

As when water turns to ice,

A memory of white skates

A red scarf

And the glittering winter in your eyes.

  1. Those skates - fabulous! Almost time for use to sharpen our blades here in Ohio as well.
    Happy Christmas

  2. There's a lot in this image. It immediately reminded me of a Kate Bush song, for some reason, though the resemblance was superficial.
