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
