Frozen Forest


An iced forest frozen in time
perpetually wrapped as if night
dense vegetation that sparkles
like crystal leaves catching the light

what are you hiding amongst the trees
cold secrets locked behind the bark
petrified for eternity
as I travel deeper through the dark

cocooned in this winter scenery
each leave is iced to the core
from grass blades to each new bud
warm sun to be seen no more
