Crystalline Spectacle

A winter morning gift

Frost on glass Photo by K.B. Silver

from the molecular origins

hydrogen and oxygen

grow crystal filaments

stunning lines of

prismatic ice

reaching

feathering

as if to alight

Winter paints

every surface with a

glistening fine hair brush

from a multitude of droplets

form a vast frozen mesh

every color etherializes

springing from translucent strands

light scatters in radiant beams

a rainbow of sparks

catch eyes as they gleam and shine

Frost Spreads Photo and editing by K.B. Silver

iridescence realized

as branches and networks

depose and intersect

wild and free

each segment jaunts

icy blooms flourishing

glazing every inch with

a thin sheet of

floral etched glass
