Frozen

Frosted glass glistens in the morning sun
Birds chirping in a new day
It is here
As the view becomes clear
With the warmth of the rays
I see nothing for which to better myself
Intensely watching the hours go by
Pleading for the darkness to come
Desiring the frost only to conceal me

I don't usually like 'angst' and I am turned-off by despondency in poetry. Ideally it should reach out and present the reader with assurance. That said I must say that this is a skillfully crafted poem. The sounds of the words and the echoing of those sounds, creates a lovely music. The 'ing' words fit really well with the narrative and complement 'glass glistens' very well as well as the similar sounds of 'myself' and 'Intensely', so close together.
