Colorless Ice

behind
invisible walls
winters drown
had come
blocked ice
immovable

till a knock
came from
a friend
before I
had been
deaf hiding
beneath layers
of lake ice
flowing in
the frozen

under sea
watered couch
he held
my pain
felt my shake
crying over
season’s death

then he
reminded me
as much
as I
didn’t want
to hear it
spring comes
after winter

and I
knew it true
just hard
to see
green from
colorless ice



"It is like looking for a blizzard in a glass snowball. Unless you shake it up not one flake will fly."

Assuming such a thing is possible, this poem made me think about what color "colorless ice" might look like.

It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, & incumbency.

Ah...even glaciers melt..and move.

I wish for you a happy spring...and worlds of green thought.

Yes, I hope that you have a happy, colorful Spring, too......after the Winter is over.
