White on blue on white,
Ice on water, snow on ice,
As the river flows beneath,
A rumbling beast,
Fluff of cloud in sky of blue,
Cold wind howls on by
And whistles through,
Bough of pine trees, evergreen,
Land empty, life unseen,
Barren wasteland?
Frozen hell? No;
Life thrives in
Ice and wind and snow.

Twisting ivy wrapped around ebony wood,. Jade leaves hang from trees strongly stood,. Draped vines curling, dripping dewdrops down,. Floor covered in small things, fell from the treetop crown,.

Dazzling, diamond snowflakes decorate soaring, emerald trees. Glistening, ivory snow carpets the hostile earth. Ancient, twinkling constellations shine with golden light through the onyx night.

Big Sky Dreaming Long

Big sky dreaming long. Lullaby a rain song. Fire embers empty cans. Last night packing empty bags. Tent silence woods still. Poetry whispers lips chilled. Chant under big sky.
