I stood on the frigid ice
Caked in endless snow like fear, grief and hurt buries one

Frost bite threatened like a dangerous cancer
The waves their form no more
And all that was left was the frozen depths

When the rivers froze
The sun and the stars stood still
No more did their rays bring heat
The winds blasted the whispering birds away
And the eyes gazed at the frozen depths
When the rivers froze
I wrapped my heart with your loving word
Held to your hand that led my path
Cuddled with your truths and sweet spirit
Tenderly, your love broke through the numbness
And blazed through the frozen depths into glorious light.
