Cryonic Comfort

It is as cold as the tomb 
When its thick white blanket 
Shrouds the now dormant earth 
Pristine and pure 
Muffling sound 
Making us the living dead. 

Up above sparkle the icy heavens 
Sending down the deathly 
Pallor of the moon. 
Downturned knives of icicles 
Stand guard over windows 
Frosted with runic designs. 

Resurrection from this suspended 
State of animation 
Recommences with the thaw 
When the icy daggers drip 
Reproclaiming the essence of life.
