Nature 7


Icy Trees



Captivity ends
There up through the trees
It rises in the distance
The sun is released

The horizon lights up
As the sun rises higher
The cold wind blows
The snow on the ground

The heat of the sun
Warms the bitter air as I travel
Up through the woods

The trees shine bright
All covered in ice
As it reflects the light in my eyes

All around me
Is a sight to behold
The sunlight dances on the icy trees

As the sun's fire melts the ice
I hope night comes soon
Recapturing the sun

So the trees are beautiful
All covered in ice
Once again.
