Winter Still-Life

One clear drop
    gathers barren,
    a crystal in time,
    desiccate.

Its fear realized,
    parched and morbid,
    aware.

Releasing, falling,  
    harsh inviting.
    Piercing the others,
    pooling in bitter cold.

a sobering piece...we so often associate winter with unpleasant things..I get that feeling here..well done, chancondegest.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

One clear drop. . . hanging in the balance. . .

Speaks not only of the winter of seasons, but the winters of our lives. . .

Excellent chanson. . .

pegasus111.....Very true, we tend to think of winter as a dismal time (although I personally love the season. I'm a snowball fight/snow fort maker person. *grin*)

Sven....Yes, our lives can sometimes feel the cold.

Thanks to both of you for your comments.
