Thoughts captured / frozen / sparkling moments in time
Held in place by negative Fahrenheit and Centigrade
Poetry captured trickling from the bowl of inspiration
For one brief moment it lies frozen / waiting for ink
But, inspiration lasts only till the next shining moment
The constant ebb and flow of life soon carries it away
The warm sun’s UV rays melt our trickles of frozen thought
And what momentarily embeds in our minds
Turns to liquid / a poetic flow of beauty and inspiration
Written on digital parchment, napkin, or diary
Reflected in sun’s rainbow of thought flowing from the bow

Reminds me of “Choose Something Like a Star” by Robert Frost. Mainly, though, on its own it evokes thoughts and feelings about, as you say, what is frozen and what flows.

This is Colorado rather than NC. It would be wonderful to have a couple of days of snow and a frozen fountain. Thank you Cheryl!

This piece is amazing, I love the contrast of the ice and our thoughts. I always thought our minds are frozen in time, the moment we are in, almost thawing at every new experience. Thx for sharing this, if you would check out my page that I had recently started, it would be much appreciated. httpscharkie.wordpress.com👍
