Waterfall

teeth of ice
paradise
a frozen waterfall.
opaque glass
cannot pass
it is a solid wall.
cold to touch
winter’s clutch
Sun’s light has no power.
shards of ice
stalactites
reaches like a tower.
white-blue light
fading bright
waiting for the spring.
Solitary
waits for warmth
Only sun can bring.
