And when finally the frigid air descends
my breath is caught passing cold teeth
and the liquid sky has turned crystaline
falling in fast rippling waves

across the lake there is no movement
as if the dense air has forbidden it
and I begin crunching through the crust
trying not to slip on wind bared ice

I don't know where I am heading to
only that I am leaving little of consequence
just the time wasted on every day worries
I am just trying to get by

I warm with the effort of every step
my heart now pounding with exertion
and I find I am enjoying myself
lost within this elemental storm

Very interesting, James. I could feel that frigid cold wind blowing, the face of adversity against the face of determination.

James Bowie...I've never thought of a storm as sensual, exciting. But this poem does exactly that. ***Ivy Rose
