Frozen In Crystalline 2

Gliding smoothly across the lake reaching thin ice, a fatal mistake. Hopefully I get extra points for being first! First time trying this form.

I think you did wonderfully for your first one, Richard. I was wondering who could have written this one. BIG congrats. (I would have scored you higher, but I did not see a lake in that picture!)

Is it hard to imagine a bench looking out at a lake? In my minds eye the lake is covered by a thin layer of snow. The color of the picture made me think of ice. The lonely scene and solitary bench symbolizing death and mourning. I have to admit I am dissapointed with the placement.

This is like a metaphor for life. We are striding along on what we think is the right path only to fall through because we don't have a firm foundation under us.

A joyous occasion can turn hazardous so quickly, if we are not careful... There is hidden wisdom in these words, I think. Nice work, Richard. Good luck in Andrea's contest!
