It's an Ice WalkA Poem by Hatter at HeartTo walk along abandoned plains For the unhappy, this means hurt The winds will whip me back Even held under a feather's weight The frozen tundra, she will crack Like the scorned wife of nature Ready to feel her wrath Jealous of my warmth Wishing to be me
Of the countless bodies she has swallowed Who have taken the same path Though I'm not much to compare I'll make up for their slack Since desire melts the ice only For those whose confidence lacks For she who takes advantage In my modest way of walking Winter will take no notice
My true confidence I'll meet you with discretion And rise to the occasion If it calls for self suppression Since at the end of this tundra Lies a true kind of confidence I won't make the same mistake In giving up easily © 2013 Hatter at Heart |
