Scene of Crystal

Permafrost upon the boughs,
in a glistening diamond wood;
where the water meets the Terra,
thin sheets in semi-melt
perform a slow ballet.

"Thin sheets glistening" That thought alone is so poetic. Watching as *a slow ballet* is preformed right before your eyes, it is very captivating indeed. This is beautiful in every way. Congratulations ML Kiser, on Poem of the Week. :) Brandy
