Frozen

Out in the dark
Where coldness taunts,
Wetness can't spark
Or stop harsh taunts.


Feel the deep cold
Pierce bone marrow,
And warming hold
A touch hollow.


Lost in the wild
Of harsh terrain,
A lonely child
Accepts deep pain.


Abrupt winds toss
To freeze stiff dread,
Ply death and loss
Till each lies dead.


Pain suffers mix
Of dying space,
For no quick fix
Can warm your face.

Dear Sand: You are right. Just an odd experiment with an old experience cast in a strange twist. Thank you for noticing. Leon
