Her blinding tears formed an ice lake Recalling how things fall apart Marooned and inconsolable Thinking of Christmas past Suddenly quite unexpected A presence catches her eye A pure red flash of contrast Settled on a pure white sigh
Dying of thirst by the lake there Under the sentinel pines In a frozen gasp of her making Exhaling glacial designs There was a bursting out of the darkness It's flickering caught in her eye A bright rubescent promise Arrived on a cardinal high
The air is transformed and altered Her body and senses thaw With warming infusing aromas Of cinnamon amber and clove Lined in a crimson blush there Cushioned in scarlet desire A blush full flushed and flaming A gift wrapped in glittering fire
