Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice The caldera collects and cradles a Beautiful, deep, impenetrable blue lake, A beautiful mirror of fire and ice Harmonizing, a wannabe visage. Snow uses caldera’s crater for its frame, Covering it and breathing icy air To ruffle the tops of old pine trees, Shaking their patience with a whizz. Snow slithers, frosts, and shrouds The dormant island in white blankets To show the caldera and sleeping fire The thrill that crowns its Ego Resounding about the unfazed lake. The dormant island enjoys its nap Exhaling gases to shoo the snow away To play with the lake.
