Ice crystal night trees stand before silent snow fields.
Mountains guard their valleys gales blowing their peaks.
Arboreal shapes cast moon shadow over white ground.
Chandelier ice trees speak with air whispers.
Moments of silence deafen the ears to the sound of nothing.
The Earth sleeps and dreams of waking sun.
Time passage endless mimic frozen rivers.
Ice lake sanctuary swim deep refuge life in dark depths.
Ice skin surface ephemeral waits a warm demise.
Cycle this place witness to eons.

Free-fall waters issue forth to their icy meeting with the Earth.
Scar the surface I made this view beneath white fields I hid my work.
Life and death it did unfold mile deep I swore that I would never go.
Follow these walls you will find the sea in its depths come vanish with me.
My strength born in tiny crystal snow was taken from me by the sun’s warm glow.
CO2 lethal sword hastened my death I flow no more.
Though I have gone my bones you see the giant who cut this fiord to sea.

Love falling center twisting curl.
Healer comforter constant companion searching river guided endless flow.
Current ever welling beauty's design compass within our dreams.
Sounding lips greeting on arrival.
Mirror in time and time again.  
Gift given and present waiting.
Moon tidal waxing summon to our beds.
Warm smiles glancing eyes have spoken.
Innate humble nature endless marathon carried on our next breath.
Stream of lightning reappear vanish emerge again and again within our dreams.
Graffiti shining dark corner seen in our eyes.
Fingers soft clay laughing wildly bring forth come to life.
Endless shovelling exhaustion pages.
Changing sharp edged distinction contrasting where we stand.  
Clip tied pages passed in silence into the palm of another's hand.
Riot youth carried repeating pattern every generation.
Escapee passage take us out of here.
Nestled on shelves sleeping cat unread.
Dive in yearning song join the swimmers in the pool.

Terror dactyl cockpit complete
Cameras serenade with apparatus whipping in the distance
Night clubbers discuss ***** violin interludes
Beau-fighter logos shadow junk food leviathans
Eye shutter bean pole women casting their gaze with lock jaw dinosaur needle rat eyes
Blister savage people howling their next Hyundai experience
Ahab he beckons

The magic of your beauty unfolds like a trick before my eyes.
Love turns the key which opens the lock that protects this cherished prize.
The day that witnessed your arrival from ethereal to human form is cause for celebration for the gift of feelings born.
Come the time we sit together and see the candles upon your cake their little flames dance like prairie grass your breath to complete their fate.
I join with you in celebration at this special time of year passing glances go between us speak of the love we hold so dear.

Dive into life’s river do it where the eddies can be found.
Let the current take and hold you but be careful as the reckless sometimes drown.
Kick the reeds should they find you as in life they will slow you down.
When seeking out the rapids remember it is where the rocks are also found.
The journey is often turbulent so let the current help you in your course as it will guide you through the cascades that sometimes bring remorse.
People that you meet where the branches come together will share a similar passage now but their origins were dissimilar.
In common is the journey and the courage to take the task so take comfort in the knowledge that they have arrived with you at last.
When the river takes to flood such people may drift away but fear not for their safety as you may meet again someday.
When you reach the delta do not try to change your course the ocean waves are there to greet you their presence shall not become your loss.
It is the ocean where the water left to become the rain so allowing you the journey from which your experience has been your gain.

Blood thread compass piercing heart
Yearn pitch black fingers in the dark
Pain soaked bandage never cured
Invisible to everyone else's view
Weep flesh sorrow silent tears
Feels the lie when you say you don't care
Millstone burden throughout the years
Endless desire ceaseless flow
Follows you across a crowded room
Youth's departure left this heart behind
Memory shadow anchor in time
