Ice and Snow

Born into this land of Ice and Snow

Born with a heroes blood

Blessed with strength of a bear

And cunning of a wolf

 

Venturing into the depths of desire

Seeing what lies in sleep

Hoping to find something to inspire

And no longer weep

 

Finding naught but ice so cold

Frostbite is all thats's felt

Hero's blood now runs bold

In a land never to melt

 

Fear invades like the frost

Fallen souls kneel

In a land where all seems lost

And men learn to feel

 

When fate turns away

The winds of change blow

Here in this land they stay

In the land of Ice and Snow

Author's Note

I liked this one, as did my friends on a camping trip. Thought I'd put it up.

yes, has a nice "Frost" feel to it...

two spots..."born with a hero's blood"

and later "Frostbite is all that's felt"

but the imagery makes us feel the cold seeping in...
when out in the wilderness, men do learn to feel...they are not insulated by all the modern day commodities.

nice work

Thanks a lot I'm glad you liked it and even more so to get some feedback! I have people i know tell me that they are good but I want people i dont know because I feel their opinions might not be I guess biased is the word I'm looking for? thanks again!

i understand that...friends and family members will often be nice because they know you...but someone who doesn't know you at all..is reacting to the work itself...
