fire and ice
fire and ice combine
written by me, December 2012
as glistening frozen leaves
reflect the sunset colours
shivering in the golden glow
as winter’s grip takes hold
twinkle
even in the deepest days of winter
written by me, December 2014
when darkness falls early
and nights are so long
there remains a glimmer
the merest twinkle of warmer times
glistening in the hidden spaces
waking
unravelling the frozen trails
unwrapping the misty shreds of cold
that weigh down our limbs
and our soulsgradually waking
from the heavy sleep of winterwe are breaking out
pushing through the darkness
into the light
knowing that days will be
brighter, warmer, fuller
and all will be wellthis too shall pass

These are exquisite images Suzy (no need to be blue about it!). It is also as quite nostalgic for me. The very first lens artist post theme was Wonder. I called my post: The wonder of fire in ice…
So to see the fire and ice poem here is actually quite special. My fire was a bit different though as the wording of an old FIREstone tyre was set in ice. but I also featured various plants with ice on them
