23 Sept: Sound of Ice

Sound of Ice Underfoot
(In the style of Gushi Wuyan Poetry)

Cold light strikes the fractures,
Dragons dart across the ice.
Steps slow, wind draws tight,
Heart sinks with cracking cries.

One snap splits a thousand hills,
Ten thousand trace its path.
The shattering is rarely fear —
The ice singing to itself.
