Icy Thoughts

A bitter look chills ones face,
Lines of anguish leaves its trace,

Icy thoughts take hold,
Forgiving hearts soothe the cold.

Discontentment, depression present,
Friends shun negatives and the unpleasant.

Icy thoughts take hold,
Playful minds soothe the cold.

Scorn and jealousy cover ones shell,
Positive influence remedies,makes well.

Icy thoughts take hold,
Passionate spirits soothe the cold.

Heated thoughts melt frigid away,
Bonded friendships build a new today.

Burning words choke in fire,
Loving souls conquer.

Icy thoughts retreat,
exhaust,
retire.
