Ice
At the beginning we were like snow flakes
Elegant and bueatiful
Slowely drifting through the sky
We landed on the ground
Blanketing all in pure white
Rainbows glinted off of us
But then we lay and they trod upon is
Changing us into dirty slush
Dangerous, slippery
A trap for the unweary
Icicles grew and punctured us
Bleeding out the joy
Drops fell from us
What was once apart of us
Compounded, compacted
We became transparent
All that had been bauetiful and intrinsic
Turned to a refracted invisibility
Yet warm hearts lurked benieth
A hard ician shell – to a delicate world
We still survived
Until the pressure of each blow
Growing nearer the middle
Then we cracked and we splintered
Fractured beyond repair
Moving apart
Leaving an abyss of darkness
Blistering cold to the skin
We no longer touched
Just drifted away
To melt alone
On seperate distant shores
