As than the winds can blow
Upon my face.
A gentle breeze never caresses
When the fresh wintry air behind it
Chills the bone.

No, that simple breeze
Cuts apart flesh.
And all the body screams inside
From the torture.

Can you feel it?
Can you feel the ice
Against your chest?

Soon it will consume you,
And you’ll be able to do none
But attempt to hide
From its grappling hold.

Your too weak,
You’ll never make it.
The ice slows down
Your breathing as you gasp.

A spatter; a cough;
And your lifeless body
Lay for the world to see
And the frost to eat.

The wind will blow around you
And rejoice as it watches

Yea… just as this bitter chill,
So do thoughts and the world,
Consume one’s mind.

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)
