Winter chills shift and thrive once more
Ice begins growth, brittle and thin
And her feet tremble on the shore
Her back thrusted by freezing winds
The grass behind stands still and pale
Crisply frozen in yesterday
Its touch and smell begin to fail
As she blindly walks on today
Across the river lake so slow
She shuffles on the clear glass stage
As her frozen aching fears grow
Tranquil faces observe her cage
