Notes About The Poem

- Ice Cold Winter -

Frost smoke over the mountain, a frozen lake
In the eye an effect of beauty,
with sculptures in shiny and polished ice

The trees are moaning and the animals
are filled with fear and empty stomachs
An existence beyond existence
While hunger burns in naked  trees

The hard ground covered with a half meter of snow
No human footsteps, silence fears
It is expected storm to the night
and the temperature falls
