Caught in a storm
crystallized blue wings
between barren limbs
searching for warmth
“Surrender”
a cold mocking call
small shivers
the bold whisper
“No, I carry life!”
saving beauty’s songs to sing
survive
shaking off icy arrows
cold dance continues
no warm hearth
scorn of winter’s blanket
berries few and withered
prevail I must
til spring
