A poem by Adele Gibbes*
Clash of wind
Snow sets adrift
Ice it splinters
Jamming on the River's Run
Crunch of steps
On this frozen tundra
Blizzard's breath
The frigid depths of beauty
Desolate wonder
Life lingers still, merely asleep
In the quiet, restless stark peace
Ancient monuments of wood stand strong
Fueling our lungs with roaring oxygen
In this symphony of December
Whistling Jack, the howl of the wolf
Dances in the glistening alpenglow
The Frost of Winter's Breath
Cannot extinguish the candle
Even on this cold winter night
A heart's fire burns bright
