Flowers and Ice

Feeling the warm sun touching my face My mind wanders and remembers Beautiful flowers that time can’t erase So full and free This dream I try to embrace So peaceful and pretty Feel like I’m floating in space Lying on my back feeling the warm rich colors And my long blond hair blowing in my face Until I feel a coldness So cold it takes me to a place Like I’m lying on a sheet of Ice Escaping reality I try not to awake Shivering without any warmth My mind tries to escape This prison I can’t take anymore I just need to feel safe Please take me back to see the flowers And open my soul’s gate To fields of beauty So I can rest there and wonder my life’s fate And forget the pain so cold like ice And to feel the warm sun once again touching my face.

I love the imagery. In my mind, it went from beauty dancing in flowers, to a cold prison filled with fear. Great poem
