Diamonds In the Trees

The icicles were like fine crystal
hanging from the trees

the ice storm was nasty 
but left such beauty

icicles were lethal stalactites 
hanging passively
from on high

the icicles warmed by the sun 
began to melt
 
then started their journey to earth

Falling like missiles without a target

Such dangerous beauty. Love ice storms, as long as I don't have to drive in them. Love, Shar
