A Poem from the winter of 2012

I wrote this on a icy snowy night in 2012, in the early hours of the morning while everyone else slept. The photo was taken after an ice storm in 2017.

Falling

Stars sway on the breeze;

strewn on the ground.

Glistening, still.

Dream-dark and silent.

Dance in the void.

veiled, dryad’s

Frigid fetters glint, moonlit.

Frozen slumber,

shimmering, fragile.

-Mandy Botlik
