Crystalize

Once upon a time

In a place I did not know

There was a fire burning in the snow

 

I know

 

I know, I know

It's hard to believe

I was lost, never blind

I saw it with my own eyes

 

 

A falling tear crashed to the ground

Crystalized, it turned to ice

Glacial heart ignite

Burn in the pain of July

 

I gazed upon a field of

Frost flowers

 

 

Once upon a time

In a place I did not know

There was a fire burning in the snow

 

I know, I know

It's hard to believe

I was lost, never blind

I saw it with my own eyes

 

 

I saw that glacial heart ignite

Frost flowers wouldn't melt or vaporize

Not in these blazing flames of July

 

No, I don't

Know why

 

 

Would they be healed by an abyssal kiss?

Cured when fractal petals burn to ashes?

Or would these flames drive a glacial heart

 

To shatter these

Frost flowers

 

 

Once upon a time

In a place I did not know

There was a fire burning in the snow

 

I know, I know,

It's hard to believe

But I was lost, never blind

I saw it with my own eyes

 

 

And I would wager that

If I were to return

To that place I don't remember

 

I'm sure I would see

A fire melting

In the middle of

December
