Ice~~ing

When Winter breaks out

that special palette;

the one with glimmer and shine,

Out I trek.

No thoughts to

health or self.

There is magic to be

CAPTURED.

Quick!

It will be gone.

One too many sunbeams,

clouds parting for

extra seconds,

the magic kingdom

disappears.

I hurry.

To capture worlds trapped

within frozen droplets,

To see the cross

between snow

and frost.

(don't breathe~~all will melt~~this is not the real world)

And find a star

in leaf debris.

Autumn ashes made beautiful again

by this frozen

kiss.

Photos captured

as diamonds dance

in the frigid air.

I am in 

Fairy-Land.

And all will pass.....

.....too fast.

Blink.

It is gone.

I dance in the diamond-glitter,

let the shards of

frigid

fall on my face.

And quickly retreat.

Magic only lasts

so long.
