The arctic spell of this winter, Has finally froze the river. With the parade currents lying still, Grasping the last air to be free again. For the river has now lost its audience, As they paddled into the deep sea. While the polar glass exhibited the frozen lie, The anecdote of time taking a pause, In a bewitching black of a silver sky. Alas the sublime river starts to hope again, As the sun embraced warmer rays, With every melt of the icy skin, The river heart starts to beat again. At the dawn of this winter lapse. The currents ran once more, With the arrival of the inhabitants, The river was once alive again.
