A Portent of Winter's Reign

transfixed, transformed I was

as the world slept in wait

of the sun's return

my former existence

is a memory that escapes me,

though it is locked

into my very fabric

#

myriads upon myriads of my kin

fell in one night,

touched by the crisp, unforgiving, unrelenting cold

we—now as one, as we were in our former state

frozen for eternity over the land.

though the shock was to our system

one both aggressive but expected,

we still sparkle with deep joy

#

as the sun rises

over the land

we cast with a white canvas

the gentle warmth

melts the cold exterior

our solidified existence

reflecting

the sun's radiance and grace

a crystalline magic, glacial illusion

our purpose, a sign, a portent

of winter's reign
