Winter

Winter

She glides on silver skates across the crystal water
 her heart a rose frozen in time
 cold and uncaring, eyes of no expression
 snowflakes fall from blue lips and fly away in frenzied winds
 from Indigo skies a porcelain moon
 shines down on sugar roofs 
 as chimney smoke writhes and slithers
 like a magical genie escaping into thin air
