WD 155 “Frozen Flowers III”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

Frozen Flowers III

I tried everything to fix

The tether that connected our worlds but

These dreams of winter never began to thaw

The sun hides from you, like anyone who has been 

Invited, engaged, forgotten 

Lost to your distance 

I can’t drive all that way by myself because the highways make me panic 

But there are 

Cold, white images of beauty beneath this ice age

Loves and lifetimes that cannot be forgotten 

And I am the gardener who cares for these flowers 

Because, I alone

Remember
