Cold Enemies
October 7, 2014
What is cold frost to you?
Frost has no life or death
It is the breath that shivers you
It bites and stiffens like stone
Water is the victim of it all
It soars high in the mountains and mingles with the air
It tortures the sturdy and slows the quick in their footsteps
It never falls into slumber and is always there in the cold of winter
Fire is its flaw and tries to overcome it as a tempest to a wall
It takes away your breath and how can you stop it?
It's feel is a piercing claw to the flesh
Again I pray, what is cold frost to you?
