Ice

I watched my body turn to ice
And I didn’t shed a tear
At the numbing of my limbs
And ebbing flow of air.

I watched my form become a mass
Of such penetrating cold;
An effigy of flawless glass
With beauty uncontrolled.

I watched my figure slowly freeze
And oddly found my peace
For I was glowing like the moon
And never would I cease.
