Winter-Bound

Image

I've been where the Ice Queen reigns

where the dome of the sky when she is

in residence shines its silvery hue below

and her courtiers are never distant from

her command, the disciples of deep winter.

Snow sits obediently at her dainty blue feet

and Wind communes above with Sleet

and Snow awaiting her orders on any given

winter day. Her diaphanous mantle of

scintillating silver borrowed from the sky

spread sedately about her she observes her

queenly estate festooned in a fine filigree

of lacework shimmering from tree steeple

to fast-frozen forest brook meandering the

sleeping garden of her winter-bound estate.
