When

When blood runs cold and skin turns pale

And icy glaciers crack and crumble

When sunshine bounces off the waves

That awaken a heart or ten.

When cloudless days meet unbridled joy,

Awash with warmth and love and light.

When cold, cold, you tremble, heart aching,

Clear, dangerous ice reflecting the unseeing skies.

Happiness, sadness, fear, excitement–

All exist within the realm of snow and sky, water, you.
