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 daresIt 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 beastCan never satisfy
Its want or thirst
All you will do
Is all you can do.
Fear the descent of ice.
