Merced River

Frozen in Time
But for a moment,
So fleeting in Eternity.
A Cosmic heartbeat
In silent haste
Stops, just to see
Briefly, the beauty..
Of Life running
Free.
A sure movement, tho
Escapes the ice.
A silent water,
Laps at the snow.
Crawls through the rigid
bindings of still...
Brandishing proudly
The Power of Will
To move ever on
Passing through Life
That is but one,
Of many to come.
Meandering patiently..
Towards the warmth
Of another Sun.
Feast on the sight
Touch the crystals
of sparkling lights,
With your cheeks,
Caress the cold.
With your heart,
With hope,
Be joyously bold..
And, quietly lie
wrapped in diamonds
in icy lace, spun.
And, too
With the water,
Await the Sun...
