Frozen

I walked across a frozen pond
Stiff and cold the thick ice
So clear I could see the fish below
Scattering as my shadow cast a
Glance across their path
Tip toe I moved assuredly 
Listening to the chill wind
Whistling in my wake
Trees in the distance 
A sign of land and tranquility 
A safety net opening their 
Branches yielding beckoning 
My chilled soul to hurry
Before the darkness erupts 
Ah at last a warm fire
Warming these weary bones
