Of Ice and Men

Ice doesn't concern itself with the thoughts
of men, it is speaking Mother Nature's  
language, loved by men when weather is fair; 
despised by men when weather is then fraught
with wind and snow and stormy invaders,
deadly to men going out if they dare.

Better to shelter when Nature is riled,
better to rest ‘til Nature is tapered 
into gentle breezes and sunshine's flair,
better to wait until ice is exiled
by Natures warm share.
