TERRAIN
A blow, a breath, a puff of air.
A cloud with icy fingers, ice and frost and snow.
A blanket of vast terrain, a sheet of white,
Coldness grips the hearts of man, as they freeze mid-pose.
The horizon, a fleck of red and yellow.
A dying sun making its slow way up into the sky.
Beads of sweat appear on every frozen object,
Until all that is left is a giant mushy puddle.
Clouds forming, light sprinkle.
Birds and animals come out to play.
Sun climbs higher, sprinkles lighter,
Clouds no longer grey.
Burning heat, rising flame.
As sun takes over the world.
Earthly hot, boiling, dripping,
All sheltered, there to stay.
Sun is sinking, cool returning.
Trees depositing their loads.
The whole world will start returning,
Back to where it froze.
