The Beauty Nature Has Created


I walk into the hush of an icy forest this night,
     It surrounds my soul with its pure beauty;
My footsteps crunching in the clear white snow,
               Ice hangs from the maze of skeleton trees.

                      In this dripping frozen landscape.

In this magical beautiful forest lit by the stars,
     The ice chandeliers shine in the dark sky above;
Pristine snow in all directions, the tangle of bare branches,
                The forest solidified in beautiful time.

                       In this dripping frozen landscape.

I feel the coldness caress my soul with glacial fingers,
     There is a stillness and a deep silence all about;
Although water trickles in the labyrinth of tangled trees,
                   And I walk towards this beckoning sound.

                        In this dripping frozen landscape.

A snow covered stream flows although in places icy,
     Around jagged rocks it is broken in its dance;
I am in awe of the beauty that nature has created,
                     I stand listening to the ice and snow speaking.

                         In this dripping frozen landscape.
