Capturing Quiet

Capturing Quiet

Capturing quiet,

How is done,

With ice on the world,

Nobody moves,

No one wants to move,

Ice storms,

Oh, yeah,

Circles around every stem,

It enraptures me,

It captures me,

It lures me toward stillness,

Rare and wonderful,

I am drawn,

I yearn,

At times,

I need,

Ice,

Clear,

Clean,

Silence!
