ICE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I once was water, and again
Last Line: To wander where I will.

Subject(s): Ice


I once was water, and again
My former self shall be;
No keep of Cold
May captive hold
A spirit of the Sea.
Beyond this prison wall of Pain,
So echoless and chill,
Despite his guardsmen Frost and Snow,
Anon through Dimple-gate I go
To wander where I will.
