The Arctic Bake
I watched the lake slowly freeze,
As if a wizard deliberately used his magic,
Enchanting a cooling breeze;
A spell concocted to deliver crystallized fabric,
Spread out just like a Yeti's sneeze.
Why have I been here so long,
Shivering in this Arctic cold?
Am I seeking where I belong,
As I am slowly growing old,
Or need I just move along?
I see ice appearing on the trees.
My clothing is getting wet,
As I pray upon my knees,
But I will not fret,
Demons will need to do more than tease!
Let a dragon come and melt this lake!
I summon you from your darkened cave!
If magic what's at stake,
Let it be the steadfast rave,
I beg of you to this place... bake!
