Descent of ice

Where we reside
The light burns bright.
Nerves are tense
Time, no pleasure.
Painfully slowly
It brews and swirls
Scorching any who dares

It snarls and slashes

And after a fortnight

You'd think it eases

But it never ceases;

Our silence is fuel,

To the relentless fire
Now, hot and writhing.
But there will come a time,
A time when it'll turn cold.
As the fire dies, you'll know.

Summer has retired.

Yet those who know,

Make no attempt to rejoice

On Winter's arrival.

For the terrifying loss,

Of the youthful Spring,

And the aged Autumn,

Is fearfully remembered.

You'd think of it each day
How beautiful the snow is.
But beware, innocent one.
A pint of blood
For a starving beast

Can never satisfy

Its want or thirst

All you will do

Is all you can do.


Fear the descent of ice.
