Frozen in Time

A Poem by Treble

The ice shatters beneath my feet.
I feel myself sink with every step.
The freezing waters surround my ankles.
They brush the pale crevices,
adding a layer of cold
to the already cold heart.

A child throws a rock, a stone.
The ripples caress my jeans.
Blue turns to grey as
the colors wade in the water.
I hear my name in the wind.
Then silence, as my hair floats.
Silence, as my eyes close.
Silence, as my smile is plastered.
Silence. A beautiful sound.
