Dan

The power ice possesses

of freezing each particle and frame

Each second as it remains the same

as before

I feel the same in your blissful, emotional presence

as if our moments were frozen in stone

and preserved for all eternity to see

that there is real bliss to be seen in this still world

There is enough that is not wasted

or tired or yet roadworn

There is beauty to be born

and that may survive

I hope that I won't close my eyes

until I watch such miracle unfold.
