Ice enters the veins
calming the focus
the clarity of frost
chilling anxiety to slow
silencing the voice
that takes “what if” to a high pitch
glossing over surfaces
to soften the edges
paving our path
as we slice our way forward
balanced on blades
that transform us to grace
ice enters the system
built to invigorate
lowering the fire
of a burning mind – Caroline A. Slee
